Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Remembrance Day assemblies last Wednesday. The event was very touching, and our students were outstanding in both their conduct during the assemblies and in the beautiful words, performances and character that they shared with everyone. A big thank you to the school staff who contributed their time and talents toward creating such a meaningful day.

Annual Winter Activity Day  

We are excited to be offering our winter activity again this year on Dec 12. We have 11 locations in and around Calgary for our students to choose from.  We strongly encourage students to use this opportunity to select an activity that is new to try.  For students not interested in any of the off-site trips offered, we have also added a day of activity hosted at the school that provides fitness and a variety of outdoor snow games on the field.  

This day takes many volunteers.  If you are willing to be a volunteer for our trips, please make sure your paperwork is current for this school year in the office.  If you are unsure if yours is current, please stop in or call the office to find out.
