Penticton Family HUB Summer Library
An overview of the Penticton Family HUB Summer Library Program at Queen’s Park
Elementary was provided by Nicole MacIntyre, the teacher who developed the community
program. The program provided a free library where students could borrow or trade books
for reading during the summer months and was available every Tuesday and Thursday
throughout July and August. The program also added healthy foods as well as an
opportunity for students and family members to sit and read together and stay connected
to the importance of reading. All books were donated and Ms. MacIntyre hopes to
continue the program in the coming summer.
Appreciation was extended to Ms. MacIntyre for her initiative as well as her efforts in helping
students.

Summerland Sister City Visit
In September, Ms. Chris McIntosh, a teacher from Giant’s Head Elementary, accompanied
a group of citizens on a visit to Summerland’s sister city, Toyokoro, Japan. Ms. McIntosh

experience into her classroom. She presented a banner, which her students had made
as an art project, to an elementary shcool in Toyokoro and sent daily videos to her class.
Ms. McIntosh extended appreciation to the Board for the opportunity to travel with the
Summerland group.
Appreciation was extended to Ms. McIntosh for her presentation and for making
connections with schools while on her visit.
