Yahk
Elementary School Parent Advisory Council
meets
on the 4th Wednesday of each month at the school.
With a school population of about 17 students (and quite a few siblings among them) we have a parent base of 'maybe' 10 couples. As a close-knit rural community our school has the luxury of involving grandparents, caregivers and community members on a regular basis. Please know that we welcome your involvement! |

We have a rich heritage of rural schools in our little villages of Ryan, Yahk, Curzon, Glenlily and Kingsgate. Our small schools have been at the heart of our community since 1911. Our first Kingsgate one room school house now sits on the grounds of the Creston Museum as a monument to our communities commitment to education. Local education for our local kids and the opportunity for daily involvement in the lives and learning of our children is essential to our way of life. Yahk Elementary can accommodate all our children from kindergarten through Grade 7. It is an excellent school with a high level of community involvement and support. Yahk Elementary is currently used by adult learners, pre-school siblings, parents, community groups and of course, our kids!
Our heritage ~ Our future
~ Our way of life
Let's ensure the continuation of full government support to BC's rural schools. We need to make our voices heard. Please, stay informed! Check out the District PAC site & the provincial BCCPAC website.
