Last week was Crayola Creativity Week.
And a local Thompson school was one of 31 schools from around the world selected to showcase how creativity fuels learning and builds positive school culture.
Wapanohk Community School’s Grade 4 class taught by Kirsten Svenkeson was one of only two Canadian Schools to receive the honor. The other was Emily Carr Public School in Oakville, Ontario.
Schools were chosen from more than 12-hundred applicants in 11 countries.
Crayola introduced the Global Ambassador Program to mark the fifth year of Crayola Creativity Week that took place last week.
Classrooms, libraries and homes in more than 140 countries participated in daily themed activities that integrated hands-on experiences with literacy, STEAM, and social-emotional learning.
The program concluded with a live-streamed school assembly that allowed children and educators around the world to connect and celebrate creativity together.
