A Special Thank You to Our Elementary School Bus Drivers

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible elementary school bus drivers. Every day, they ensure our students arrive at school safely and on time—and get home just the same. Their dedication, reliability, and care are an essential part of our school community.

Whether it’s the daily routes or the excitement of field trips and special events, our drivers go the extra mile—literally and figuratively. Thank you for all you do to support our students and families!

Dear Friends and Community Members,

 

Have you noticed all the incredible improvements taking place at the Condor Rec area? The beautiful improvements to the skating rink and the upgraded ball diamond, along with new soccer nets are nothing short of amazing, and it’s all thanks to the hard work and generosity of so many wonderful people.Our community is truly fortunate to have access to these beautiful recreational areas, and it’s a privilege to see how they’re being transformed into spaces for everyone to enjoy. This is a time to come together to recognize all of those who worked to bring these projects to this point. It definitely takes all hands!

We are excited to invite you to the Grand Opening of both facilities on May 10th at 11 AM! There will be a food truck, cake, and a ribbon cutting ceremony, all to celebrate this fantastic achievement. There will also be some games to play and watch both on the ball diamond and on the rink. It’s a chance to enjoy the new spaces, say thank you to all who contributed, and spend time with friends and neighbors.Thank you once again to all those who donated their time, energy, and resources to improve our community.

We look forward to seeing you at the Grand Opening as we celebrate these amazing new and improved recreational areas together!

Gr 5 Fort Normandeau & Kerry Wood Nature Centre

Time: 9:00 am - 3:10 pm
Location: Red Deer, Alberta

Dear Parents,

Our grade 5 classes will be heading to Fort Normandeau and Kerrywood Nature Centre in Red Deer, AB to take part in two programs that are related to our Science and Social Studies curriculum. We will be starting the day at Kerrywood Nature Centre to explore the night sky during daylight hours with a mobile planetarium. Students will experience an in-depth exploration of the motion of the night sky and our place within the Universe as well as myths about the constellations in the sky. This ties in with our Astronomy unit in science. We will then head to Fort Normandeau and take part in the “Of Two Peoples” program where students will explore the unique culture and traditions of the Métis people through a lively fur trade game and other engaging activities. This ties in with our Social Studies curriculum. 

Important Info:

  • We will be leaving the school at 9:00 am and returning around 3:00 pm. 
  • Students will need to bring a bagged lunch as we will be having a picnic at Kerrywood in between the two programs. No microwave will be available.
  • Students will be required to wear appropriate outdoor clothing as both programs will take place primarily outdoors. This includes dressing for the weather and having study footwear (not crocs, or flip flops).
  • We will need to have a supervision ratio of 5 students per adult, so I am asking for 6 parents that are able to come and assist with chaperoning the students during these programs. Please note: there will not be room on the bus for parents as we will be near the maximum number with just the students. 


Thanks to our amazing parent council, the cost of the bussing and the program is 100% covered for students. Please fill out the following permission form and return it to the school with the money by Friday, May 23, 2025.

Please have them packed appropriately for the weather (water bottles, hats, sunscreen, etc). 

Parents are welcome to join us, but will be responsible for their own transportation to the park and will have to pay the $10 entrance fee. Please let me know if you intend on volunteering. If you are volunteering, and are taking a group of students, you are required to have your Criminal Record check completed.
