The eagle is a symbol of Alert Bay be-cause you see eagles everywhere, downtown, on the beach, and tourists take pictures of them. They are awe-some looking birds, and there are more eagles than crows and ravens. Eagles always go to the beaches when people dump fish heads and fish guts there. This is the reason I chose an eagle for the symbol of Alert Bay.

By Kachina Boyer-Oyler

This is why I think the thunderbird repre-sents Alert Bay. The thunderbird was one of the first ‘Namgis people. The thunder-bird saw a man struggling to lift the beam of the big house, so he transformed into a man and asked him if he could help. He transformed back into a thunderbird and lifted the heavy beams. That’s why the thunderbird represents the ‘Namgis.

school. They help share students’ ideas, interests, and concerns with the teachers and principal. They

help promote fun healthy activities.

They help the students raise funds for school wide projects. They assist the community when they are in need of aid. Being on Student Council is something that will help our students

become responsible and active members of the community.

Winter is . . .

White, soft, fluffy snow,

Snowballs flying over my head,

Kids playing, laughing, having fun,

Snowflakes falling on my tongue,

Skating on the big rink,

Making snow angels

Sledding like lightning down the big hill.

Pierson

Winter is . . .

Snow slowly falling down on the

ground and piling up.

The delicious smell of fresh

gingerbread and sweet hot chocolate.

Playing hockey, skiing and tubing –

time for having fun.

Tyler

Winter is . . .

- a steaming cup of hot chocolate with a

mountain of whip cream on top

- the glorious spicy smell of gingerbread

cookies baking

- licking fresh icicles

- a bowl of delicious chicken noodle soup

to warm me up inside

- curling up by the fire in my warm

snuggie blanket

- watching movies on TV
