Check-Out our New Playground!

We are super excited to announce that our new playground has been installed! Thank you to our hard working volunteers who spent a full weekend in October to help with the construction, including members of the North Fraser Fire Dept and Sasquatch Lions Club. We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks also to our Grounds Department for helping with the site prep work, to Tammy at SwingTime, and to the Provincial Government for helping fund the project.
Our Running Track is Finished!!

In the Spring of 2018, our school received a grant from our School District to build a 200 meter five lane running track. We are very excited to have another venue to do our Daily Physical Activity programs and to allow our children to see improvement in their running times. We hope to host some running meets with other schools from Mission School District as well as Aboriginal schools operating east of our school. Finally, we are happy that this track could serve a place for our local community to walk on in the evenings.
Buddy Bench Dedication

Thank you to everyone who attended our Buddy Bench Ceremony on June 1, 2018 and to the various groups who supported this project.

"The Buddy Bench is a place for you - if you're feeling sad or blue .... Want to find a friend to play or talk to someone new today? Just take a seat and wait a bit .... and next to you a friend will sit!"
"Forest & Stream" Program

Unique to Deroche Elementary is our "Forest & Stream" Stewardship Program. We have a stream running through our school property which has given us a remarkable site to teach students ecology, environmental studies, aquatic life and the importance of watershed sustainability. We invite you to come for a visit and check out our "Forest & Stream" Program!

Salmon Release & Stream Dedication

Thank you to Inch Creek Hatchery for coordinating our fish release on April 20, 2018. This was a very rewarding day for students as they released over 40,000 Chum Salmon into our school stream as part of our "Forest & Stream" Rehabilitation and Stewardship Program. It was great to have so many special people come out for the event and to join us for our Stream Dedication Ceremony.
