Thank you to our School Council for organizing the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon. We appreciate all the delicious food and the lovely flowers. A special thank you to Amber and her team for the set-up and to all the families who provided many food varieties! 

This week multiple classes had a great time attending exciting programs at Heritage Park. Students had great learning experiences and a lot of fun. More field trips to come. 

Most of you might have already known that Ms. Poole has accepted an Acting Principal position at Evergreen School for the next few weeks. This is an exciting professional opportunity for Ms. Poole, and she will be a great asset to Evergreen School in this short-term position. In the meantime, we are happy to announce that Ms. Kelly Galvin will be deployed to take on the role of Assistant Principal at École Chinook Park School during this time. Ms. Galvin has demonstrated strong and effective leadership throughout her role as a Resource Learning Leader at École Janet Johnston School. Ms. Galvin and I will ensure a smooth transition for staff and students. We would like to welcome Galvin and wish all the best to Ms. Poole as she experiences a new role and responsibilities!  If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Galvin, kmgalvin@cbe.ab.ca.

The casino funds are the biggest financial contributor to cover non-core learning expenses. Your time directly contributes to enriching our student experience. Please sign up through Sign Up Genius!
