News & Announcements

Mamquam did an amazing job at the Track Meet. Congratulations to all the racers and participants.

Bike to School Week is an annual celebration where we encourage students to bike or roll to school. Students of all ages and abilities can take part. The event is a great way to enhance green initiatives already happening at our school, build community, and highlight the benefits of active transportation - like less congestion and healthy, energized students.

Public Works came to us this year! The grade 4 students were treated to a truck parade, had the chance to climb inside and ask many important questions about the important work done by Public Works.

Our class reared and released 53 Coho salmon fry into the Mamquam spawning channels. Students had the opportunity to watch the beginning stages of the salmon lifecycle in our classroom tank. In the wild these changes are hidden beneath the redd, the protected nest a female salmon carefully builds for her eggs. On the day of our release we spotted many wild coho fry in the channels; a sign of a healthy habitat. Each fry was given a special name as it was released into the water.

Recently, the Rotary Club of Squamish visited Mamquam to offer the Bike Rodeo program, a bike skills and safety program that is fun for the children and promotes healthy commuting to school by bike. It was great to be back again, after the two-year interruption due to COVID-19! Thank you for helping Squamish Rotary provide this important service.
