We are excited to become part of the Rocky Mountain House community and look forward to walking alongside families, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community partners as we build a school where resilience, belonging, and lifelong learning flourish.

Berries are such an important part of ceremony🫐🪶🍓 (not to mention they are delicious and healthy ) 😋. We were able to harvest our first round of saskatoons this week. More to come but we have a good start on the preparations for our equinox ceremony in September. Thanks once again to the students, parents and staff for contributing to the whole school community in such a good way. ♥️

There is way more to it than the harvesting 🪶 We are grateful to the students, parents and staff that wrapped things up today by cleaning, bundling and hanging the sage to dry. We have enough for the year and some for the Elders 💜
