OLA Playground Update
OLA Families and Friends
The Fort Saskatchewan Catholic Schools Parents Society is proud to announce that we will be building a playground this summer at Our Lady of the Angels Catholic School. The playground construction will start over summer break and should be complete for the start of the new school year!
After completion of the St. John Paul II Catholic School playground in 2021 the FSCSPS jumped right into the OLA playground project. After 2 years of Grant applications, business letters, and fundraising the parents, teachers, students and community members involved have reached our fundraising goal to complete another playground for our students!
This project would not have been possible without the support of our community as a whole. We are blessed to live in a community that looks out for one another and can support each other everyday.
Our Sponsors:
-Alberta Governments Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) Grant
-The City of Fort Saskatchewan School Playground Grant, Keyera, Plains Midstream, Enbridge, Twice But Nice, and OLA Parent School Council
We look forward to all the joy it will bring our students and community members for many years to come!
We shared the final design with the students at our last assembly! If you have any questions about the project, please feel free to contact us by email at fsplaygroundsociety@gmail.com

Consultant
Learn how your child approaches new things. Does your child love new experiences and participate right away? Or does he/she need to watch and listen first and is more careful with new experiences?
Recognize your child’s learning style. Is your child more hands on or do they learn best by looking and listening?
How does your child react to change? Be prepared and help them prepare for changes. Is your child flexible or do they become upset with change?
A child’s activity level can affect their preferences. Does your child prefer quiet activities or more active settings?
Celebrate your child when they advocate and share their needs and what works best for them. We are all different and learn differently, no two brains are the same!
OT
Has your little one established a dominant hand? Do lots of 2 handed activities: have them help in the kitchen to open open containers (Ziploc bags, containers or jars), help with washing dishes or mixing. In the bathroom have them open the toothpaste tube and play scoop and pouring games in the tub. Play puzzles and games or colour on tummies on the floor.
SLP
Play ‘Simon Says’ to practice following directions with more than one step:
Example of 1-step direction: Simon says, clap your hands
Example of 2-step direction: Simon Says, touch your nose and turn around
Example of 3-step direction: Simon Says, stand up, spin around, and jump
You can take turns being “Simon” to practice following AND giving directions!
