SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 73
River as Classroom

Frank Law with students at the river

Bert Edwards Science and Technology students enjoyed clear skies and sunshine as they participated in an outdoor classroom day on the North Thompson River Oct. 11. They spent the day moving through learning stations set up by community groups, industry and businesses. They learned river science, stories, and how this river and valley are reflected in Secwepemc culture. 

"Sometimes we don't always realize what's happening in terms of the life and the cycle of the river," said Bert Edwards Principal Frank Law. "This gives students a broader perspective of life at the river and throughout the community."
