Ben Kijek
6th Grade Teacher Extra-Curricular Interests
Derek Taylor Public
School I am open to the possibility of involvement in any extra-curricular
clubs, teams, or organizations. I would likely be most interested and
qualified for involvement in a basketball program.

I am also interested in the possibility of starting a digital music club

where students can explore concepts and skills behind the composition
and production of digital music. I feel strongly that this is a gaping hole
in the current Alberta curriculum. I’ve seen firsthand that there is a
very high level of interest in digital music among upper elementary and
junior high students; a digital music program would be a huge hit.
