Grades Taught

PreK-12

About

HAK is a rural school that includes a daycare, Great Beginnings program, kindergarten and Grades 1 to 12. The school is located in the town of Smoky Lake, which is a vibrant community of 1000 people. Our community is extremely active and is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes northeast of Edmonton. At HAK, we offer a variety of courses; including archery, shop, leadership, fine arts, outdoor education, foods and STEAM. We also offer multi-grade courses and pride ourselves on multi-grade activities throughout the school. Older students and younger students learn the importance of working together. Our parent fundraising group is called: "CASA," which stands for: "Community And School Association." Parents and community members raise funds for our students so they may participate in extra-curricular activities and field trips such as ski trips or camps. This is an example of our strong tie to the community. We want our school to be part of the community, and the community to be part of our school.

Hello! I teach Grade 4, and just love that age group! I have been teaching for 30 years, and still enjoy it all. I feel energized while spending time with kids, and I especially love sharing and teaching literacy! There are so very many life lessons that can be shared through good literature!My best blessings in life are my own three children, and spending time with them is my other passion in life. It’s fun surrounding yourself with good people … at work and at play, but if something every becomes a struggle, I say a prayer and let it go!Life is what you make of it! Let’s sprinkle the good stuff over everything!
