Principal’s Message|  

“Approach the New Year with resolve to find  

the opportunities hidden in each new day.” 

Michael Josephson 

As we begin the New Year, we think about new beginnings and new opportunities. A new year gives us time to reflect on what we have learned and achieved, and to look forward to what is ahead. 

We are excited to continue supporting our students as they grow, both in their learning and as individuals. This year will bring new learning experiences and chances for students to discover their interests and strengths. There are many new and exciting things to look forward to. 

The New Year is also a good time to set goals and try again when things are challenging. Together, we can encourage our children to believe in themselves, try new things, and stay motivated throughout the year. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to working together and wish you and your family a happy and successful New Year. 

Warm regards, 
Lisa

Monday – Jersey Day / Wear Red Day (January 12^th) 
We are a proud APPLE School. Let’s show our APPLE pride by wearing red or rocking your favourite sports jersey from any team! If you don’t have a jersey, wear red to represent the Calgary Flames. 

Tuesday – Crazy Hat / Crazy Hair Day (January 13th) 
It’s time to get creative! Wear your wildest hat or style your hair in the silliest way you can think of. The sillier, the better!
