Thank you to School Council

The staff at Chaparral School would like to thank our School Council for providing dinner and morning treats for our conferences on Thursday evening and Friday morning. We feel very blessed to have such a thoughtful and generous school council looking after us.

Scholastic Book Fair Results

Thank you to all of the students and families who supported the Scholastic Book Fair this year. We are so pleased with the success. This fundraiser brings in extra money to be used on additional learning materials and special events at our school. It is very valuable to us. This year, our fundraiser sold $10,294.24 of products. We will be receiving a portion of this back to the school. Thank you so much. We look forward to having the book fair back again next year!

Traffic Safety

It has once again become important to talk about traffic safety. We have MANY families who are opting for convenient instead of safety. This includes mid-road, 3- point turns, ignoring the crossing patrols and driving on the sidewalk to name a few. There have been some very near accidents that put our students and community at risk. It is all of our responsibility to keep our students safe. Please follow road safety rules and help to keep our students and families safe. Bylaw is aware of these breaches and has indicated that they will be following up.

Casino Fundraiser

The casino fundraiser is the biggest fundraiser we do at Chaparral School. It regularly brings in more than $60,000 to support purchases to enhance student learning. It requires many volunteers over a 2-day period. Our next casino is June 24 & 25 at Deerfoot Inn & Casino. There is a variety of roles to choose from and you do not need to have a police clearance to volunteer. If you can support, please sign up at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/ACA388085

It is imperative that we fill all of the roles for the casino to participate in this amazing fundraiser. We thank you in advance for your help!!
