St Alcuin College in North Vancouver wants to be a LiD school
Our introduction to LiD was delivered with a visual provocation. The students watched a short video of the wonders of the world around us, landforms, insects, animals, technology, history, and environmentalism were briefly shown in short 6-second videos. Parents and students listened to a brief description of the LiD program and all adults present, including administrators, teachers and parents pledged to support the students along the journey. A short celebration ended the day and involved a small snack and pictures.
