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 by Friday, May 23, 2025.

For those that consented - AHS

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We’re excited to share that our Grade 6 students will be heading over to David Thompson High School for a fun and informative orientation day! This visit will give them a chance to explore the school, meet some of the teachers, and get a feel for the environment as they prepare for the transition to junior high.

It’s a great opportunity for the students to ease any nerves and start building connections.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

This will be a fun swim for our grade 3 class. 

On June 12th, grades K to 2 will take an educational trip to Crimson Lake Provincial Park - departing the school at 9:00am. 

Return to the school @ 3:00pm

Please have your child bring a bagged lunch, remembering that we will not have access to a microwave. 

The weather can change rapidly, and the program will then run rain or shine. Please have your child dress appropriately and be prepared for all weather conditions. 

Please ensure that we are notified if your child has any medical conditions and that any medications (epi-pen, inhalers, etc.) are always with them.

In Science, we are learning about plants, animals and their life cycles. I have booked a field trip to Discovery Wildlife Park in Innisfail that will take place on June 17, 2025. The bus will leave at 9:00 am and we will return in time for the buses at the end of the day. 

Students will be involved in activities such as: presentations on animals and life cycles, a bear exhibit, and the big cat exhibit. We will also walk around the zoo and see all of the animals that are there. As well, we will have a hands-on session where the students can hold different animals! Please bring a bagged lunch (not microwaveable) for the trip as we will eat it outside, weather permitting. There is a concession there to purchase food and souvenirs, if you wish. 

There will be no cost for students, and all adults who wish to come will be at the group rate of $10.00/person. 

I will need at least five parents to be chaperones for this field trip; if you have completed the required criminal record check for volunteering, you are welcome to join us! All parents are welcome but I need to make sure that there are enough chaperones to cover all of the student groups.

Thank you!
