Welcome back to our Middle School Matters podcast!

• My name is Tim Cavey, and I’m the VCS Middle School vice-principal
• My name is Mary DeBoer, and I’m the VCS Middle School principal

We want to start by acknowledging that our school is situated on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and it’s on this land that we are grateful to live, work, and play.

Here were some highlights from the week: 

• Tuesday: Grade 6-7 immunizations 
• House Team Games of the Week
  • In the gym: Relay Races with the Grade 6s! Basketball, wheelbarrow, hula hoop, shoe scramble.
• In the classroom: Wikipedia Race
