Principal’s Message
On behalf of our entire staff we want to thank our
families and school community members for their
continued support through an ever changing and,
often at times, challenging school year. It was a
year where we all needed to be flexible, patient,
thoughtful and understanding. Covid-19 safety
protocols and regulations were constantly changing
and we needed to adapt to them. I felt our staff
was amazing during the entire year! Professional
and always putting their students’ needs first. I feel
fortunate to be part of such a great team at Kelly
Creek. As I write this message in the middle of one
of Powell River’s biggest heat-waves I’m thinking
ahead to September. There is still uncertainty of
what our start-up will look like in September, but
we are very hopeful. Hopeful that we will be able
to safely return to daily school activities that we
have enjoyed in the past. If there is one thing that
this year has taught us, we will be able to handle
anything that comes our way to create positive
learning experiences for our students!
Again, on behalf of myself and our staff, thank you for all of your support throughout the school year.
It was much appreciated and so beneficial for our students. Have a wonderful summer!
Student Belongings Left at School
Some students may not have been able to collect all their personal belongings from
school. If your child has items left at the school please feel free to stop by to collect them.
The office will be open from 9:00am – Noon, Wednesday June 30th, Friday July 2nd, and
Monday July 5th—Wednesday, July 7th. If that does not work for you, please feel free to
contact me at: Jamie.Burt@sd47.bc.ca to arrange a time we can get them to you.
Thank You to Our PAC and
our Kelly Creek Community Association
On behalf of all of our students and staff we would like to thank our PAC and our
Community Association for their continuous support over the course of the school year.
Both of these groups work hard to create and support ideas and activities that help add to
our students’ opportunities at school. The pandemic didn’t slow either group down at all!
Our PAC met monthly via Zoom and we had a number of new members who were
consistently able to contribute at meetings. Special thanks to our PAC Executive for
stepping into new roles this year and doing a wonderful job for us: Amy Naylor
(President); Lindsay Seery (Treasurer); Catherine Macleod (Secretary). Our Community
Association also navigated Covid restrictions and guidelines throughout the school year to
provide great supports for student and staff. Big thank you to Kevin, Laurie and the
members of the board. We are all very hopeful that we will be able to invite our families
and volunteers back into the school in September. We really missed that this year!

Kings READING Hero
The Powell River Kings and The Co-operators
(Westview Agencies) have out done themselves! The 15th
Annual Read Program has gone virtual! Twice a month, a
video of one of our Kings players reading a book to the kids is
sent to the school. Recognizing a Reading Hero happens once
a month. Thank you to all of the sponsors including The
Cooperators and Panago Pizza. Go Kings!
Congratulations to our latest Reading Hero!
Some Tips for Parents to Help Keep Your Kids’ Skills Sharp Over the Summer
Public Library: Visit the public library website, they have great recourses and ways to get books to read.
Listen to a story: Check out audio books from the library or download books to your iPod for the family to
listen to together while at home or in the car. Visit the podcast directory http://www.openculture.com/
freeaudiobooks to pick the perfect literature podcasts for your child this summer.
Explore and learn: If taking trips, choose places with an educational theme. Local parks, museums, nature
centers and zoos all make for great day trips.
Write it down: Discuss and write about the books you are reading. Keep a journal of trips and activities
during summer.
Create a family game night: Set aside one night a week for family game night. Chess supports youngsters’
analytical and problem-solving skills, and Scrabble helps boost spelling and vocabulary skills.
Give math meaning: Total up items while shopping at the grocery store or market. Practice fractions while
cooking. Graph daily temperatures.
Locate a summer program: Find an academic summer program that meets your child’s needs. Make sure
the program has a researched –backed curriculum, low student-to-adult ratios and certified teachers..
