Daily Reminders
- taking the time to complete the Alberta Health Service Daily Checklist
- checking your child's backpack for a water bottle. There are refill stations at the school. The water fountains remain off to follow COVID Protocols.
- placing extra masks in your child's backpack in case they forget one, it falls on the ground or it breaks. Masks are also needed in music class.

Gardens Galore - With Your Help!
Calling for your Help!
Please contact our music teacher and Chaplain, Mrs. Donamarie Lukie at donamarie.lukie@eics.ab.ca if you can help:
We are in search of:
- 2 Garden boxes for pollinator gardens that are being planted thanks to the Fort Saskatchewan Multicultural Society and Wild Outside. Ideal garden box dimensions are 4X6 feet or 1 large box
- Garden Soil to fill all of the boxes (2+ cubic yards of soil)
- Root Vegetable seed donations such as carrots, Kohlrabi and beets
- A little elbow grease to transfer the soil into the boxes
Ideal timeline is to have the pollinator garden(s) installed and all of the planting boxes filled with soil by June 4th as the Fort Saskatchewan Multicultural Society Youth Group is planting the pollinator garden that weekend.
Thank you in advance for your help. We've hit a few bumps on the path, and we continue to be hopeful our village will join us in this project for the children. We know that gardening is not only good for mental health, when we can make meals and soups for our children, we can help them be physically healthy too...the fresh air is also good for the soul!
Thank you for connecting with Mrs. Lukie if you are able to help. :-)
