THANK YOU GRAD 2010 PARENTS!



We love our new library chairs!!! This terrific new set near our library entrance was purchased for the OKM library, by parents of our 2010 grads.  Thank you!



Puppy Power!

Meet Yukon, our youngest husky, on his first trip to the OKM library!

Read aloud, read to yourself, read stories, read poems, and read the newspaper. Read anywhere or everywhere!

Thanks for participating in our D.E.A.R. literacy celebration! 

Thanks to Ms. Aeckersberg, Ms. Lee, Mr. Pavlic, Ms. Goodall, Ms. Carroll, Ms. Nickel, Ms. Styles, Mr. Wright and all of the other OKM teachers who took time from busy schedules to drop everything and read with classes today at O.K.M. Thanks also to many other staff members and students who joined us throughout the school.

Last week our Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid encouraged British Columbians to support literacy and libraries:

"Reading is a priceless gift we can give our children and ourselves. It not only helps ensure success throughout our lives, but opens up new worlds to us every day. . .

Reading is the foundation everyone must have to be successful. Strong reading skills bring self-confidence and a better quality of life, which is what I want for every British Columbian. Literacy truly transforms lives. . ."
