Grade Five Celebration

We are excited to let everyone know that we have been able to finalize our date and guest for our Grade Five Celebration. Mark your calendars! On Thursday, June 23 beginning at 10AM, we will start our ceremony and celebration outside with all the classes from Kindergarten to Grade Five in our beautiful school field. We have invited a special guest, Hal Eagletail, from the Tsuut’ina Nation, to come and share with us a traditional ceremony that recognizes students' journey to a new school. This ceremony is part of their cultural practices when moving camp, which calls the spirits of all the children, to ensure that they follow them to their new schools. We are very excited to have Hal Eagletail as part of our first Grade Five Celebration together.

Following the ceremony, the Grade Fives will perform a special tribute piece for the school and the school will then, in return, sing a song to celebrate our whole community. Then after the performance, Grade Five students and their families will move to the school gym for a presentation celebrating our Grade Fives. Cake and refreshments will follow the presentation.

The immediate families (the family members that live with our students) of our Grade Five students are welcome to join us for both the outdoor ceremony at 10AM and the celebration in the gymnasium following. If you are joining for the outdoor ceremony, please bring your own seating. Another formal invitation to our families will be coming home prior to the event, but we wanted to make sure you could mark your calendars now.

Any questions, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Westine or Ms. Robinson or you can connect with Mr. Craig at mscraig@cbe.ab.ca.

Dr. Freda Miller School Council and School Enrichment Society meetings

These meetings will be held next Monday night, June 20, at 7PM online. At both meetings we will be looking ahead to next year and talking about special events like fun lunches, celebrations, concerts, etc. as well as getting some ideas and input on some bigger projects that we may want to fundraise for or spend funding dollars on. You can connect to these meetings using this Meeting Link, or find the link posted online, and in the News Post on our website. If you would like to be added to the list to receive this email personally as well on the day of the meetings, email Mike. We welcome anyone with thoughts and ideas that they wish to share. We will also be sending out a short survey later this week to capture ideas from our community in the event you cannot attend.
