School Calendar

Calling all Parents, Grandparents and community members - We are in need of a COACH for the GIRLS basketball team this year! Please contact Mr. Kucy to discuss if you are interested in helping us out @ 780-922-4522

Do you have old winter attire that your child(ren) has(ve) outgrown? We are exploring the idea of having "classroom community bins" of extra winter attire.

We are currently seeking winter items of varying sizes for community utilization in the school for our classroom community bins. A primary example of this would be specifically in cases where a student has forgotten items at home and is in need for the day. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

See the google form below if interested in donating so we can get an idea of the inventory levels and sizing information of items coming in. THANK YOU for supporting our student community!

Bake Sale @ Christmas in the Country

Parent Council is happy to announce they are offering the Fundscrip Fundraiser again! Yay! Who doesnt want to buy gift cards this time of year?! See forms attached directly below if missing paper copy.

Christmas Spirit has arrived at the library, and students are excited to read all about it. With this cold weather, it’s a great time to curl up with a good book and get lost in a story. Curl up by the fire, maybe grab a hot chocolate, and do some winter reading.
