One quick turn...
and it’s all over for this dog!
Dogs are easily
jolted out of
open pick-ups and
often suffer crippling
injuries or death.
Use a protective kennel secured
to the truck bed, or better yet,
let your best friend ride safely
in the cab.

section of the trail and place the painted rocks
2m apart on either side, a reminder of social
distancing guidelines.
“Normally at this time of year, the school as
a collective would start every morning with
a short walk on the trail to start the day!” said
teacher Tamara Johnson. Students that have
returned to school will be able to still access the
trail to see the work, ensuring they are following
regular safety protocols. For those who have
not returned, all are encouraged to walk the trail
and take part in the Rock Art Scavenger hunt to
find the artwork and even contribute their own
pieces should they wish to.
“The project promotes getting outside, being
active and creative, and everyone can participate!”
said student teacher Candice Mangione,
“And the decorated trail reminds us that we
can remain connected, hopeful and resilient
through this time.”

Together apart
rock art project
Some students are back in school this week
and learning what the practice of physical distancing
looks like in the classroom setting.
While attendance is varied from school to
school and even classroom to classroom, most
that have made the decision to return are happy
to be back and making connections with teachers
and classmates once again.
Throughout the 9 weeks that in-school learning
was suspended, many schools and teachers
throughout the district found creative ways to
keep students feeling connected, despite the
physical distancing measures that kept them
away.
The Brent Kennedy 5/6 class, with the help
of their teacher Tamara Johnson and student
teacher Candice Mangione, devised an art project
called Together Apart where students were
asked to create unique rock art pieces to be
placed along the Slocan Valley Rail Trail behind
the school. The project began with the 5/6 classroom,
but quickly opened the invitation for the
entire school community to participate.
The Slocan Valley Rail Trail runs right outside
the elementary school and has served as an
outdoor classroom for many years. A beautiful
paved stretch of the trail runs from the South
Slocan Village to Frog Peak Café in Crescent
Valley. Students were instructed to bring their
finished art pieces at their convenience to this
Rural Teacher Education Program), Candice
wasn’t sure what her practicum was going to
look like this spring. Fortunately, placement
went ahead and student teachers around the
district were able to contribute to support the
at-home learning piece for students.
“Having to adapt to the conditions that the
pandemic created for education, I’ve learned
some valuable new skills and new delivery
methods that I believe I’ll be able to use as a
teacher in the future!”
