This month, we are focusing on student well‑being by fostering a strong sense of belonging across our school community. One highlight is Culture Day, where we will celebrate and honour the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and traditions that make our school unique.  In addition, our Student Voice Council is leading several upcoming initiatives, including a school‑wide spirit day and a fundraiser, designed to build connection, school pride, and student leadership. We look forward to sharing these meaningful experiences with our students as we continue to strengthen a welcoming and inclusive school environment.

Culture Day

Taking Place Thursday, April 9, students and staff are encouraged to wear cultural attire of their family/heritage and join us in celebrating our community's multicultural vibrance. We would love some parent volunteers.  If you’re able to volunteer from 12:00-1:30, please let Ms. Sarah know. (sokryczka@cbe.ab.ca).

If you would like to deliver bottle drive flyers this week OR you'd like to volunteer on April 11, please email me: lubates@cbe.ab.ca.
