A rural Lumby school is ready for the future.
The official opening of the new classroom building at Cedar Bridge School will be held Friday at 2 p.m.
“The school will host an open house as a means of acknowledging and thanking all of the trades, volunteers, and financial donors who contributed to bring this classroom into existence,” said Roxanne Brierley, board president.
“The event will also serve to officially introduce the school, and the new classrooms, to the community and the North Okanagan.”
The new building houses two elementary classrooms. Planning for a second classroom building is set to begin in the spring with the goal of offering Grades 1 to 8.
Cedar Bridge School has been in operation since 2006 and is operated by the Bridge Educational Society, a registered charity.
“Since its inception, it has grown from offering only preschool programs to now having a full range of early childhood programs through to Grade 6,” said Brierley.
“Situated on an organic farm and nestled into a forest, the school integrates both nature and farm experiences into its Waldorf-inspired curriculum. Its aesthetic location, unique outdoor and Waldorf-inspired curriculum, and appealing learning environment has attracted families from around the country and as far away as Nevada.”
The school is located at 730 Whitevale Rd.
