Tune up your wheels and mark your calendars! Tyee student council is promoting Bike to School Week. Bike to School Week is a free, fun, week-long celebration for students of all ages and abilities. The event is a great way to enhance green initiatives already happening at your school, build community, and highlight the benefits of active transportation — like less congestion and healthy, energized students!
Who benefits from taking part in the Bike-to-School Week?

• Celebrates students arriving to school by bike
• Connects students with their peers
Schools
• Builds school community by getting parents, students and teachers working together

Dear Division 3 Families,
As the Division 3 students already know, I will be leaving Tyee at the end of this school year.
My partner, Steve, recently graduated from UBC Dentistry and has accepted a contract at a dental clinic in Revelstoke. I will be joining him in Revelstoke with the hope of finding a teaching position in the community. This is extremely bittersweet for me as I have felt so welcomed and supported in this school. I feel so privileged to have started my career in such a unique and tight-knit community.
Thank you for the generosity, kindness and respect I have received during my two years at Tyee. I look forward to connecting and cherishing my remaining time with you at Tyee.
Sincerely,
Ms. Hannah Langille
