How do we start our day before the first bell? We play outside, we grab something from the breakfast window, we head to our lockers, we do quiet work at our desks, we play games in the library, and we visit with friends. We are Team Awesome and loving it!
Thank you to all parents, guardians, special aunties, kookums, and other valued caregivers who joined us for our annual "Eat Lunch with Your Child" day to celebrate Family Matters Week. There was homemade soup and Terri Bulldog's famous deep-fried bannock for everyone!
Across Alberta today, students were encouraged to spend active time outside for annual Winter Walk Day. You may have seen us along the dike or in your neighborhood. Here are some pictures of students from 7C on their walk to the bridge and back.
Our 2023 Christmas Market was a big success! Students were able to browse through a huge selection of donated items and choose a present for a special someone in their family. Each item was gift-wrapped and students were given a card to write a special message letting that person know how much they mean to them. It was wonderful to see the smiles on children's faces as they left knowing that they would be able to add something under the tree this Christmas.
A heartfelt and special thank you to all who donated:

Santa paid us a visit today as we finished off our annual Turkey Dinner for staff and students. As each student entered the gym, they were given a ticket. Numbers were called out and the student holding the ticket got to come up front and receive a small gift from Santa ... and a photo which may (or may not!) be treasured by parents.
Today we wore orange as we continued a week discussing the effects of residential schools and their legacy. We honour the experiences of Indigenous peoples, we celebrate their resilience and we affirm a commitment that Every Child Matters.
Students have been adding their handprints to our Every Child Matters bulletin board display. Today, even Ben, the service dog, got in on the action! The National Day of Truth & Reconciliation falls on a Saturday this year, so we'll be wearing our Orange shirts on Friday, September 29th.
This week Mr. Schamehorn’s Hunter Education and Hiking & Biking classes combined for an afternoon of fishing and exploring out at Wilderness Park. While no gigantic monsters were hauled in, we had some fish on the line and plenty of help from some great parent volunteers with hooks, snacks and gear. We'll be back for sure!
