Estimadas familias,

¡Qué orgullo! Our grade 5 team, teacher Sra. Holly Gray and Sra. Tamara Schurch, along with music specialist Sra. Jenn Kelsey, created a thoughtful and sensitive acknowledgement of Orange Shirt Day. Students shared personal reflections, guided by the domains of the Indigenous Education Holistic Lifelong Learning Framework, through poetry shared orally in Spanish.

Through storytelling and movement, we witnessed connection to our Alberta landscape, as students retold “As Big as the Sky, as Tall as the Trees”. School should be a place that allows us to flourish in Spirit, Heart, Body and Mind. Our students’ voice helped members of our community to reflect and learn.

World Teacher’s Day 2024- Valuing Teacher Voices

Teachers, and our education colleagues, have a wealth of wisdom and experience that makes a real difference in our lives. Their knowledge transforms us, creating a lasting impact on our learning journey. We are proud of work within the Calgary Board of Education where our mission informs all that we do:

Students come first.    Learning is our central purpose.

Public education serves the common good.

Fun Lunches

Fun lunches are back and are offered throughout the year to students who wish to participate. We receive our lunches through Healthy Hunger, an online platform that delivers pre-ordered lunches to the school in which a portion of the proceeds goes to the school.

On the day of the event, lunches are sorted and delivered to your child’s classroom by parent volunteers. If you would like to participate, please register your child at www.healthyhunger.ca . Lunches must be ordered prior to midnight, 5 days before the fun lunch event.

We kindly ask that if your child is absent the day of the fun lunch, please contact the school prior to 10:30am, if you wish to pick it up the same day, after 1:30pm. If not specified, your food will be donated to someone in need of lunch. No refunds will be issued if your child is absent on the day of a Fun Lunch.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to parent support at www.healthyhunger.ca or email ecsfunlunch@gmail.com .
