A beautiful afternoon to gather & learn how to weave a basket from locally sourced pine needles 💚 Andrea Wijayakoon Phillpotts (she/her) generously shared the knowledge gifted to her with our Richmond Environmental Educators (a local chapter of EEPSA) in the fabulous Homma Elementary gazebo. #sd38learn

Great results and teamwork at the BC Track & Field Provincials this weekend. And several medals… RA McMath 🏅☀️ Yay, Wildcats!

What an amazing night of celebration for our 2024 Grads! Congratulations on a fantastic Valedictory Ceremony filled with inspiring speeches and performances. Go Wildcats! #valedictory #wildcats #McMathPRIDE Richmond Schools

Fantastic camping trip with #OutdoorEd RA McMath. The early rain scared us but provided a gorgeous scrubbed clean evening. ☀️☀️

Basket weaving with pine needles RA McMath in the last week of #BCFP12. How could anyone think basket weaving is easy? 🤣

For National Indigenous Peoples day, EFP12 & BCFP12 RA McMath did a reconciliation field trip, #ReconciliACTION by pulling out invasive English Ivy so that local plants can grow more freely. We made baskets and detergent from the pulled plants!

A special day at McMath as Olympic gold medalist and alumni Camryn Rogers returned to the school with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! RA McMath

Wellness in the wild can start with something as simple as a walk in the park. This past week RA McMath, Outdoor Ed students visited the Nature Park City of Richmond BC and connected with nature, each other, and their wellness. Take Me Outside Richmond Schools

Even heavy rain didn’t dampen our spirits on our RA McMath Outdoor Ed camping trip: campfires, s’mores, card games, walks by the river, Werewolf games, and tent shadow scenes.

Sunrise on the wharf near RA McMath with our all new fishing club. Bullheads, cormorants, and smiles galore!

How would you survive in the backcountry with an injury? Outdoor Ed students RA McMath learned essential skills this weekend with Coast Wilderness trainers. So much fun!

How can invasive plants like English ivy and holly be used for good? This week, REEd environmental teachers Richmond Schools made wreaths from these troublesome species.

Reconciliation in action RA McMath in EFP10 & EFP12. Students pulled out invasive English ivy to make room for Indigenous plants like lələc̓ʔəɬp or Oregon Grape. A tree or two was saved from the choking vine, as well.

Amazing first evening of ski club RA McMath

Epic sunset with RA McMath ski club. So many opportunities for strengthening SEL! A big thank you goes out to our volunteer teachers & chaperones, without whom we couldn’t offer this great opportunity. GoDaddy Canada Hayley Valliquette Leslie Mennie & others.
