Last week was a hectic one with many students gone for Band Camp and field trips. We are pleased to provide memorable and enriching experiences for our students, at Elboya. I’m grateful to have staff that plan these special opportunities for our students! October is flying by with many other fun and community building events for students to enjoy.
With colder temperatures ahead, please ensure that students are properly dressed for the weather.
Oct 24 – First Spirit Day
It’s time for Elboya’s first spirit day of the year, Thursday, Oct 24 student are encouraged to come to school in 80s/90s clothing! This is the start of our spirit days! More to come throughout the year.
Remembrance Day
We would like to honour Elboya family members who have served in the Canadian Military during our Remembrance Day Assembly. Please send photos of family members, a small write up including the soldiers name, service dates, and Elboya student name and relation to Ms. Quast at tlquast@cbe.ab.ca

There will be a mix of things happening for students. A pumpkin carving contest will be open to all students. See attached information.
