Christmas Concerts

We will have a collection bin for both the Lacombe Food Bank, as well as Santa's Anonymous during our Concert week. The Food Bank is always in need of food & hygiene items, especially during the holidays. This year, Santa's Anonymous is low in gifts for children of all ages; particularly older children and LEGO. Thank you for contributing to our community if you are able!

Did You Know?!

Dear Parents & Guardians,

We are excited to invite you to take an active role in shaping the educational experience at our school by joining our School Council. As parents and guardians, you play a vital part in your child’s learning journey, and being involved in the council is a meaningful way to contribute.

The School Council is a collaborative forum where parents, teachers, and administrators work together to support and enhance our school’s programs and initiatives. By participating, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Voice your ideas and concerns to help guide school decisions.
Contribute to planning events and activities that enrich the educational experience.
Build strong relationships with other parents, staff, and community members.
Model the importance of community involvement for your child.

Your perspective as a parent is invaluable, and your involvement helps ensure that our school is a welcoming and inclusive environment where all students can thrive. Whether you can dedicate a little time or a lot, your participation makes a difference.

We’d love to see you at our next meeting on Tuesday, January 14th @ 6:45pm in the JS Wellness Room. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to express your interest.

Thank you for your continued support!

Warm regards,

Melissa Rogers - Principal
