JOY POD
Tomorrow is Chickadee and Elbow's day to visit the Central Public Library & Calgary Reads. Please dress for the weather, bring a litter-less lunch, water, and snacks. Students are walking to the library and Calgary Reads. We expect students to be dressed appropriately for being outside (hat, mitts, scarf, snow pants, boots) especially as our Calgary weather changes so quickly. If you have questions or concerns, please email your responsibility teacher. Please be on time :)
Pink Shirt:
Wednesday, February 27 is Pink Shirt Day. We encourage students to wear pink as we use this important day to launch Kindness month.
