First Weeks of School
Team Building Day: September 10, 2021
You couldn't ask for a better day for our annual Welcome Back lunch and team building activities. The sun was out and the sky was a brilliant blue as our students rotated through various events organized by our grade 7/8 Top Wolves leadership class. Each homeroom started by designing a sign showing off their uniqueness. Then they went to the gymnasium or outside to participate in events such as three-legged races, scavenger hunts, capture the flag, and shotgun soccer. It was a great way to end the week and celebrate our TeamAwesomeness!
We welcome new students in style: September 2, 2021
What a great first week this has been! We loved seeing the excitement in the halls from both new and returning students. This year we welcomed 73 grade 5 students and 32 grade 6-8 students into the TAN family by presenting T-shirts to each new Timberwolf.
Breakfast Sandwiches for All: August 30, 2021
And just like that, 275 Cheese n Eggers were gone! Thank you to the staff of A & W for preparing surprise "Welcome Back" breakfast sandwiches for every student in the school this morning. We look forward to more good food this year as a result of the PRSD School Nutrition Grant.
Jitters Day: August 27, 2021
Mr. Chalifoux shows two of our incoming grade 5 students how to use their combination lock. It was great to have so many parents and children touring the school this afternoon as part of our Middle School Jitters Day. Several children were overheard saying, "I'm really excited for Monday!" So are we. Bring it on! #teamawesome awaits you all.

Smile Cookie Day: Sept 16, 2020
Welcome to TAN from our cookie-happy principal and vice-principal. The value of a smile is priceless, yet it is the cheapest, easiest, most rewarding and most sincere gift to anyone that crosses your path. When your mask is off today, share that smile!
Proceeds from the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign went to the Suicide Prevention group Always Find a Reason to Smile.
Thanks to the generosity of cookie lovers across the Peace River Region, our local Tim Horton's was the #1 Smile Cookie seller in Alberta and #4 in Canada!
Grade 5 Lockers: Sept 16, 2020
Our grade 7/8 Top Wolves surprised every one of our grade 5 students this morning with messages taped to their lockers. Check out some of their welcoming words of encouragement.
First Day of School: Sept 4, 2020
We had a great first day of school!!! Students started the day with a little music playing, while they collected their masks and free t-shirts, provided by our fundraising efforts from last year! At the end of the day, all of our returning students received a free 2019-2020 yearbook, also provided by last year's fundraising.
Backpacks for Students in Need: Aug 26, 2020
