Another round of thanks goes out to Brent Kennedy Elementary and Mt. Sentinel in SD 8 (Kootenay Lake) for hosting our teacher candidates on the first day of the year. It was a great opportunity for them not only to get into schools right away, but also to experience the organization and energy of that first day.

It was so awesome to be in an actual learning environment on the first day of school; remembering what it was like as a student, and now seeing what it’s like from a teachers perspective. I loved the energy and the excitement!
