The GLOW
April 29 - May 3, 2024
Fifth Sunday of Easter
I am the True Vine
All of us are called to bear the fruit of faith. We are called to bring love, kindness, faith, patience, peace, and every kind of virtue into the world. But we cannot bear fruit apart from the true vine, Jesus Christ. He sustains us and gives us all that is good.
Children’s Daily Prayers by Kara O’Malley pg. 268

As a school community we continue to pray for Mrs. Peterson and her family and for all those who mourn her loss. We are grateful for the faithful witness of our dear teacher, friend and colleague, Mrs. Peterson. She was a powerful witness to your love, in her health and in her illness. We trust with the certainty of our own faith that Mrs. Peterson has arrived safely in your loving arms. We trust that Mrs. Peterson continues to watch over us and prayerfully intercedes on our behalf from her heavenly viewpoint. Please find her obituary below.

Engagement on Cellphone Use in Schools
The Honourable Demetrios Nicolaides, Minister of Education, advised of a targeted engagement to hear from teachers, parents, and other staff about cellphone use in schools. I am pleased to provide you with additional information.
You are invited to participate in an online survey about the future of cellphone use in elementary, junior high, and senior high schools. You can access the survey at Survey Link. Please share this information with staff and parents and encourage them to share their views. The survey will be open until May 3, 2024.
Input from this targeted engagement will help inform potential future government direction.
If you have any questions, please contact Nathan Freed, Executive Director, Field Services, at nathan.freed@gov.ab.ca or 780-427-5378 (toll free by first dialing 310‑0000).
Sincerely,
Lora Pillipow
