Thank you to Mrs. Giard for taking all Kindergarten students to the Studio Bell National  Music Center Museum.  It was a great way to expose our students to a variety of types of music and instruments.  Everyone had a great time and learned a lot!  In the upcoming week we are happy have the Wise Whiskers Program from the City of Calgary coming into our Grade 5/6 classes to talk about pet safety and science.

School Council Casino – Volunteers Needed! 

We're on the lead up to our casino that we volunteer at every 18 months. This event is happening on October 23 and 24 at Pure Casino (1420 Meridian Rd NE). The funds that we earn from volunteering reduces the amount of fundraising we have to do at the school for technology and experiences, along with building up savings for a new playground for the future. 

We're requiring volunteers for the 38 positions before back up volunteers. There are three shifts each day, 11am to 7:15pm, 7pm to 3:45am, 11pm to 3:45am and 6 to 7 volunteers required for each shift. When you're there, our advisor will teach you the position, provide you with a meal and make some connections with other parents from the school. 

If you or anyone you know can help out, please use this link to sign up to volunteer: www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094BAAAC29A1FCC61-51167220-casino#/ 

There is a description for each position and their times.
