Bon Vendredi! 

Happy Friday!  

It has been a fun and busy week at ECPS! Several classes were involved in swimming, some of our grade 1 and 2s went to the zoo and we also had the last Council meeting for the year. Our Kindergarten Orientation also took place, and we are excited about our new learners joining us in the Fall!  

Swimming  

What a wonderful experience for the students! This week several classes participated in the swimming lessons at Canyon Meadows Pool. A huge thank you to all of our volonteers for helping us make these swim weeks possible for our students! 

We are looking forward to the next round of swimming from June 17-20 for the rest of the students. If you can volunteer, please join us at the pool!

Grade 6 News 

Bottle Drive - Sunday June 2, 9am to noon 

Our Grade 6ers are in the home stretch of their time at Chinook Park School. A committee of parents is currently working with the teachers to plan a farewell celebration and as is tradition, to help organize a legacy gift for the school from the graduating classes. The legacy gift this year will be table tennis tables that can be set up in the gym for the students to use during indoor recess and physical education classes. 

To fundraise for this initiative, the Grade 6 families are running a bottle drive on Sunday June 2 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the school parking lot. If you have any empties that you are able to contribute you can bring them to the school parking lot on Sunday morning. If you are not able to drop them off at this time you can drop them off anytime on the porch of 195 Cherovan Drive SW. Pickups are also available. Please text 403-803-1245 to arrange. 

Thank you for supporting our Grade 6 students!
