While the temperatures outside may be freezing, the energy inside SAM has been nothing but warm and vibrant! Last week, our Student Leadership Club’s Vacay Day brought sunshine to our halls as students and staff dressed in their favorite vacation attire—beach hats, ski gear, floaties and everything in between!
We also came together for this month’s Spirit Assembly, celebrating the incredible contributions of our SAM students. The hard work, kindness, and school spirit of all the students and staff at SAM continue to make our community stronger every day.
And finally, we welcomed future SAM families at our Kindergarten Open House! Registration is now open for both half-day and full-day kindergarten for the 2025/26 school year. If you or someone you know is looking for a fantastic start to their child’s learning journey, be sure to check out our registration details.
Have a great long weekend (remember that there is no school on Thursday and Friday) and we will see you all back at school on Monday, February 10th!

Kindergarten experiences at SAM embed a wide variety of structured and play-based learning. Your child’s growth is fostered by professionals who encourage them to build positive, kind relationships where they develop confidence and independence in a small K-6 community minded school.
SAM School offers both full-day and half-day (am & pm) kindergarten programs. While SAM School prioritizes kindergarten registrations for families that live within our catchment area, we do welcome other families from within St. Albert and surrounding areas based on the room and resources available.

Each month at our SAM Spirt Assembly we will recognize the incredible contributions of our students, staff, and volunteers who help make SAM an amazing school to come to every day. The SAM SPIRIT Award is a monthly themed award where teachers choose a few students from their class to recognize for demonstrating our SAM SPIRIT qualities. This month, we recognized our Lovely Listeners who always find a way to make others feel heard. Congratulations to our SAM Spirit Award Winners!
