https://ss.westwind.ab.ca/home/news/post/october-2026-principal-s-message - As crisp autumn air settles over the Southern Alberta prairies and the harvest season nears the end, a wonderful energy fills the halls of Stirling School. September gave us a fantastic start to the school year, highlighted by our recent Terry Fox Run—a heartfelt thank you to all the students, staff, and community members who came out to run, walk, and raise funds for cancer research, and to our Parent Council for generously providing well-earned refreshments afterward! As we turn our calendars to October, our students—from our youngest PreK learners building new routines to our high schoolers stepping into leadership roles—are deeply engaged in their learning, athletics, and school spirit. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, this month serves as a welcome reminder of how grateful we are for the strong, supportive community surrounding our school. Thank you for your continued partnership in making Stirling School a wonderful place to grow and learn.
We ask that you please pay your resource fees ASAP or make arrangements at the school office. We accept cash, debit or e-transfers for all fees. You may use the following email address for all e-transfers: [email protected]. Thank you!
Hot lunch - Parent council is always looking to have more parents assist with hot lunches; please contact any of your parent council representatives if you are interested.
