With Gratitude:
We would like to thank our families for their support for the book swap. All students went home with "new" books and we were able to donate a van load to the Big Book Sale for Calgary Reads. Thank you Ms. Lewis and parent volunteers!
Another big thank you goes to our School Council for their dedication to attending meetings, planning initiatives, fundraising and more! Because of you, our students are able to have many opportunities like field trips, residencies, technology and curricular resources!
