Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

My name is Kristina Badley and I will be returning to Aubrey Elementary as a student teacher in your child’s classroom over the next couple months. Some of you may already know me from last year when I completed my short practicum in Ms. Smith’s class.

A little bit about me! I completed my Bachelor of General Science (BGS) in education with a triple minor in learning disabilities, curriculum and social justice this past spring. I have also recently completed my Graduate Diploma of Education (GDE) with my focus being classroom specialist.

My teaching journey began in the arts and over the years, I have been fortunate to be able to share my passion for dance and piano with countless youth of all ages through my community involvement with various private piano and dance studios. I greatly cherish all the relationships I have been able to build and look forward to the many more I will be sure to build! Besides teaching, some things I enjoy are spending time with my family (and my two furry friends!), baking, climbing and trying different hot chocolate flavours!

I look forward to meeting you all in the coming weeks as I begin my final classroom experience with Ms. Smith!

Kindest Regards,

Ms. Badley

Division 5 students along with their little buddies from Division 11 harvested our spuds in tubs this week. Today we roasted the 247 warba potatoes and students brought in their own toppings to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Division 5 has created a “Walk or Bike to School Challenge” to encourage people to be more physically active and reduce traffic pollution around our school.

We encourage you all to Walk or Bike to school if possible.  Our goal is to have 90% of our students walk or bike to school on May 30th and May 31st. 

Mark your calendars and join our challenge!
