Back From Fall Break!
Thank you to all the families that joined us in conversations about their student's learning. We had much to share and celebrate. Thank you also to the Bake Sale donations! It was a huge success and the money collected will be going directly back to students. We hope you enjoyed the Fall Break and are ready for a wonderful week ahead! This week students will be getting back into routine and enjoying learning and playing together.

Métis Week (November 13 - November 17)
Each November, we recognize Métis Week. Métis people will bring together the community to share their history, culture and stories throughout Alberta and across Canada. The Métis are, and have always been, a distinct people with a shared past and a shared future. Recognizing the role of reconciliation in our shared future, we are called, once again, by Archbishop Smith, to listen and to love. His Grace in summarizing progress made says that this has been a historic year of “Listening, learning and working to rebuild long-standing relationships that have been profoundly damaged by the legacy of Residential Schools.” Archbishop Smith reminds us of the meaningful steps towards a more loving future, including the fact that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Church for the sins of her children; acknowledged the catastrophic impact of the residential school system; called on us to promote the rights of Indigenous Peoples and to favour processes of healing and reconciliation. Smith reaffirms the long-term commitment to walk with Indigenous Partners in Canada’s long journey for healing and reconciliation.
