Preparation is the key to a successful harvest! Class 2 spent time prepping the soil and practicing proper vegetable spacing and seed depths, ensuring everything was ready for the official planting.

This Friday, our annual Mayfest celebration brings our school community, family, and friends together to celebrate the splendour of spring, seasonal traditions, and the soon-to-be school year-end.

There will be activities for children*, enjoy the maypole dance, flower garlands, and ice cream. Families can bring a picnic dinner or purchase grassfed beef smokies or veggie dogs from our BBQ grill masters!

(admission, activity tickets and food by CASH ONLY)
*Children's activities end at 7pm

See you at the maypole!

Creativity truly abounded during last week’s Middle School "Anything But a Backpack" spirit day! We love seeing them balance these fun events with impactful fundraising initiatives that keep our school life vibrant.

In a meaningful rite of passage, Class 6 students completed their Journey to Knighthood projects. They also traveled to Edmonton for the Medieval Games to test their resilience and connect with regional peers. The journey culminated with a special knighting ceremony and celebratory feast, honouring each student's personal growth, self-awareness, and integrity.

Our third grade students are mastering the art of the custom hat, beginning by hand-dyeing their own vibrant yarn before trading knitting needles for crochet hooks. This classic handwork project builds incredible focus and fine motor skills, resulting in a cozy, wearable keepsake. We love seeing them sport their hard work and creativity with such well-earned satisfaction.

Outdoor education pushes beyond the classroom to turn challenging adventures like camping and rock climbing into real-world lessons on leadership and grit. By navigating their local geography together, students build strong bonds with their peers and gain the confidence to face obstacles with courage and resilience.

Ancient Greece captured the imagination of our grade 5 classroom as students explored its geography, history, and myths. After drafting essays on the Greek landscape, the class worked in their city-state teams to build impressive Trojan Horses from popsicle sticks. These detailed models, with trap doors and tiny warriors, brought the legendary stories of the Odyssey to life through collaboration and creativity.
