As classes draw to a close and we reflect on learning since the start of the year, despite some disruption, we are very proud of how our students continue to conduct themselves respectfully and engage positively in school activities. Our well-being data shows a meaningful increase in students’ sense of belonging across grades. As such we will continue to build on this important theme through strategies that honour cultural diversity, create welcoming spaces for students over the lunch hour, and meaningfully include student voice and feedback in school initiatives.
On behalf of the Staff at Elboya, we wish all families a restful holiday break and extend our warmest wishes for a happy, healthy and successful 2026.
Band
Congratulations to Grade 8, 9, and Jazz Bands who performed to rave reviews for both students and families last week. Thank you also to families for helping us collect $300 for the band program, as well as 50lbs of food for the Calgary Food Bank!
Band Fundraising: If you collect a significant number of cans or bottles over the holiday, please consider donating them via the Manchester Bottle Depot (410 38A Avenue SE) - Tell them that you're with the Elboya School Band!
