Thank you to all the parents who attended our Parent Teacher Interviews! We encourage you to continue to reach out to staff any time throughout the school year as needed.

As we move into the week prior to Fall Break, we all turn our thoughts to Remembrance Day. Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. Our school will recognize this important time during a school assembly this Friday.

A reminder that our Fall break is November 13 - 17, where the school will be closed. Enjoy this well deserved break! We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, November 20th.

We have some grade 7 students that are working through the Grade 7 Science Curricular outcome of 7SCA1 - Describe relationships between humans and their environment. As a unit final project, they chose a problem/issue/concern in an ecosystem that they were interested in. They then applied the concepts from the unit to describe their case example. The final part of the project was researching potential solutions and what could they do about it! We had some students present to other grades and lead some learning activities and others plan to hold a bake sale to raise money to help the causes they have chosen. Some of the targets of the fundraising are: Northern Tornados Project, Red Cross, United Way British Columbia, Friends Of The Everglades Foundation and Avalanche Canada. We are proud of our Spartans who are choosing to take curricular outcomes and endeavoring to increase awareness and make the world a better place! Even the Banff Springs Snail deserves some love! We are good, when we are all good!

The Grade 6 class is hosting a Moms Pantry Fundraiser from Nov.3 - Nov.20. All proceeds will help offset some of the cost for Grade 6 Ranch Camp this Spring. Orders must be done online only will be delivered to the school beginning of December. To order please go to www.momspantry.ca

I’d like to acknowledge that we are on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.
