Dr. Ken Sauer Fine Arts School

We will be working very hard this week to get our beautiful school ready to welcome our students and families on Thursday!

We have been excitedly watching the big construction project progress since it began June 1st! Today the first four modular classrooms rolled in!
We are SO grateful for all those working hard to be sure these spaces are ready for our staff and students. 💙

We are looking forward to having Mr. Henderson join our growing team! We know he will be a great addition to the DKS school community.

We’re pleased to welcome Bryce Henderson as Vice Principal at Dr. Ken Sauer Fine Arts School beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.

Bryce brings more than 10 years of teaching experience with MHPSD, along with a strong background as both an instructional leader and coach. His ability to build positive team cultures and support student growth will be a great addition to the school community.

Our Grade 4 crew is on their way home from their epic Drumheller trip! 🦖
We have some big thank-yous to share:
1) We know our students and families join us in thanking Ms. Hall and Mr. Walker for volunteering their time and for the adventurousness required to make this field trip happen for our grade four learners!
2) Our amazing Parent Council and the families who support the fundraising efforts are absolutely crucial to this experience. Without these funds, the trip cannot happen. (2026-27 Grade 4 parents, watch for an announcement in the coming days about how you can help get fundraising started for your child’s trip next year!)
3) Thank you to our many family volunteers and our awesome students. Because of you, the trip is fun, safe, educational, and memorable!
