Ridgeway Elementary School


Teegan is a grade 7 student who consistently models Indigenous ways of knowing and learning. His family is from the Heiltsuk Nation on the central coast of B.C. Teegan was proud to represent the Ridgeway Family at our Welcome Pole blessing ceremony last June. He is a gifted athlete who participates on school teams and intramural sports. Outside of school he plays football, volleyball, snowboards and competes in long boarding. He is also a thoughtful artist who takes patience and time with his projects. Teegan is known for his good manners, positive attitude, as well as his inclusion and empathy for others. His Grade 4 teacher described him as β€œthe calm in any storm.” Teegan exemplifies the qualities we value as a Ridgeway community.
