There has been a principal shuffle in the New Westminster school district.
The move was spurred on by the promotion of Jacob Sol from principal of Richard McBride Elementary to district principal for community education in the spring.
The moves are: Chris Evans will be principal of McBride; Jenny Richter will be principal of Connaught Heights Elementary; Paul Manville will be vice-principal at John Robson Elementary; Patti Peterson will be vice-principal at Herbert Spencer Elementary.
"We are very pleased to have these outstanding educational leaders assuming their new roles in New Westminster schools and wish them well in their new assignments, which will commence in September 2012," superintendent John Woudzia stated in a press release.
SUMMER STUDY
Looking for learning opportunities this summer?
The Wonder of Learning: The Hundred Languages of Children exhibit from the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy will open on July 17 at the River Market.
The exhibit will be open from July through to December, said a media release.
Visitors will be immersed in the world of the Reggio Emilia philosophy of early childhood education and understand how children, from birth, use "languages," such as art, music, play, drama, and literacy to learn about and make meaning of the world, the release says.
The exhibit highlights the work of the children of the municipal infanttoddler centres and preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy.
The Vancouver Reggio Consortium Society, a nonprofit collective representing early childhood educa-tors, college and university educators, artists, researchers, activists, parents, and others, will be hosting the exhibit in collaboration with Reggio Children and
The North America Reggio Emilia Alliance (NAREA).
A series of professional development workshops and conferences is being organized.
