Closing Comments
Beyond the memorable sessions already identified, there are too many remarkable
moments to mention as a result of the session offerings we have accessed. But let me
name just a few more. We take advantage of the sewing and beading sessions as
often as possible as we make Christmas gifts for people we love.
We have created one-of-a-kind stickers facilitated by Coast Salish artist Ovila Milhot to
help us create a collective identity as a class. I have a tradition of making slime on
Halloween as we explore states of matter. Our grade dissects squids alongside a
marine biologist when we discuss future career options in Health class.
Connected North has made it possible for these experiences to be both engaging and
educational. I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of this program in
shaping the minds and hearts of my students. As we continue our journey with
Connected North, I look forward to witnessing every student shine like the stars we
study as they realize their connection to the vast world around them.
