St. John School

☀️ ☀️ Blue skies, warm sun, and NON-STOP GAGA BALL! ☀️

The verdict is in, and our brand-new Gaga Ball pit is officially a massive hit! From the moment the games start, the pit is packed and the energy is through the roof. It turns out everyone wants a piece of the action.

With the weather looking absolutely fantastic all week long, the timing couldn't be better for everyone to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and dive into the fun. It's safe to say this new addition is already a crowd favorite!

The secret is OUT! 🤫❌

If you guessed a Gaga Ball Pit, you nailed it! The STJ workshop has officially delivered, and the arena is open for business. 🏆💥

A massive thank you to Mr. Dupuis and Mr. Friesen for bringing this top-secret leadership project to life. The sawdust has settled, the recess game has been permanently upgraded, and we are already having a blast!

Who’s ready to play? 🪵🔨🎉

Progress report from the STJ workshop! 📐🪚

We promised a top-secret leadership project, and today we’re actually making sawdust. Things are taking shape, but we’re keeping the full reveal under wraps for just a bit longer.

Here’s a little sneak peek at the progress. Any new guesses based on how it's looking today? 👇

Something exciting is building at STJ! 🪵✨

Huge thanks to Care and Share partner Marv Friesen for delivering lumber for a top-secret leadership project with Mr. Dupuis.

Any guesses on what it could be? 🤔👇

Banff, you have our hearts! 🏔️✨

That’s a wrap on an unforgettable adventure in the Rockies. We are home with sore legs, full hearts, and a camera roll that’s absolutely bursting.

The kids had the absolute trip of a lifetime—between the turquoise lakes, the wildlife spotting, and way too much ice cream, they didn't stop smiling once. Seeing the world through their eyes in a place this majestic is truly something.

This trip wouldn’t have been possible (or nearly as smooth!) without our incredible village that surrounds us. A huge thank you to everyone!

Banff, we’ll be dreaming of your mountain peaks until we meet again. 🧗‍♂️🌲❄️
"We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun."

Today was the big day for our Sabres at the Outdoor Learning Conference in Banff! 🌲🏔️

Our students proudly presented a collection of traditional Métis games that were once played in road allowance communities across the Prairies.

Through hands-on activities, storytelling, and cultural learning, they shared an important piece of Métis history and heritage with conference attendees.

We are so proud of the confidence, leadership, and passion our students showed while representing our community and helping keep these traditions alive. ❤️💛💙💚

The group also took some time to explore and enjoy the beauty of Banff and Canmore, making memories together outside of the conference as well. What an unforgettable experience! ✨

The Sabres have officially left on a jet plane and arrived in beautiful Canmore! ✈️🏔️

The excitement is real as the team kicks off an unforgettable weekend in the Rockies. From airport adventures to stunning mountain views, the memories are already being made.

We can’t wait to see what this weekend has in store for our Sabres crew — lots of laughs, team bonding, and unforgettable moments ahead! 💙🔥
