“Wonder, Observe, and Explore” was the theme of the first ever NB Science Week and as the event concluded, over 2300 classes in our province did just that. Unable to host annual, face-to-face Science and STEM Fairs, representatives from all four Anglophone School Districts worked collaboratively to offer a weeklong virtual conference to raise awareness about the importance of Science in our lives today. Participation from students and staff in Anglophone North School District was outstanding.
District Science Fairs have gone virtual for 2021! And the Anglophone School Districts are celebrating all things Science in New Brunswick with Science Week 2021!
Although it has been a unique school year in many regards, teachers and students in ASD-N certainly proved that they were up for the 2021 Take Me Outside Winter Challenge. With close to 100 registrations, we saw fantastic examples of outdoor activities across the district, as participants were involved in skiiing, sliding, snowshoeing, quintzee building, hiking, outdoor cooking, and plenty more.
Max Aitken Academy in Miramichi is thrilled to have been selected to represent New Brusnwick in Classroom Champions and the NHL’s announcement of Lessons from Willie.

The program includes social justice and anti-racism resources to schools across North America and a series of inspirational videos that educators and families can use to start meaningful conversations with kids.
