Principal's Message
Spring is here! (Beaver Creek was -35C in the morning so …)
Whew, busy times! I have come to the realization that school is always busy, we just have to choose what the means for us. Is it busy and feeling "omg I can't ever get caught up" or "will I ever get a moment to breath" or " (deep breath) wow I am so grateful to have such wonderful activity in my life". I definitely vacillate between all three :) I would say the overarching feeling is usually the latter. We have just returned from a much needed week long break and I am definitely feeling refreshed. I hope the rest of the staff and students are too.
With "spring" many things happen in the Yukon, this year an election is one of those things. May we all make well informed decisions, using our critical thinking skills, of how to vote based on political platforms which are in line with what our own values are.
Spring also brings much sunlight, cold mornings, but warm afternoons. Each morning is a beautiful sunrise, and if you get up early enough, an equally beautiful moon set. Ah, the land of the White River First Nation is breathtakingly beautiful.
With all the glorious weather comes more time spent outside just having fun, and also traditional camps. We will be going ice fishing as well as hosting our annual muskrat camp. Though they have to be postponed due to Jack Frost sticking around longer this year, they will happen. The importance of getting outside and connecting to the land is always important. Some would say that during this particular time in our society it is more important than ever.
COVID-19 still has a firm grip on the world, though a looser one in the Yukon thankfully. The social distancing has created some isolation, but also provided an opportunity for connection in a variety of other ways. My hope for each of you is that you have, or will, find your way of connecting to people, nature, and animals that leaves you feeling happy, healthy and a visionary for future positive possibilities.
Please take care of yourselves, each other and keep on washing those hands!
Stay well,
Heidi Warren
