Thank You To the Coop
Last week Brendan F and Melissa C dropped by with a gift card from Parkland Co-op to help offset the cost of ensuring all students have access to lunch when they need it. Huge thanks to Parkland Co-op. Parkland is an amazing partner to the school, supporting many projects.
New 2 U
Huge thanks, once again, to Joanne Y and her crew at the library New 2 U. They hosted our K-6 students last week to do some Christmas shopping for their families. We have been doing this program for many years and it is something all our students look forward to year on year. Thank you as well to Joanne and her crew for gathering and supplying us with wrapping supplies, the students had almost as much fun wrapping as they did shopping. I know that there will be surprised family members Christmas morning when they open their gifts.
When there is no snow...improvise.

Sr. Boys Have A Great Weekend in Birch Hills
The Sr. Boys were in Birch Hills this weekend and knocked of Mistawasis Friday night. Saturday the boys went slug for slug with a hoopla medal 4a favorite Melfort A. Despite us being up by 1 through most of the 4th we lost by a bucket. The crew vented their sadness by then beating Birch Hills and Melfort went on to roll St Brieux by 40pts.

Athletes of the Month
Amia Kirkland
Amia’s remarkable work ethic and positive attitude set a great example for other athletes. Her dedication to honing her skills demonstrates a commitment to improvement that is commendable. Her work ethic not only elevates her own play, but also motivates and inspires her teammates to strive for their best. Her consistency on the court and positive attitude make her a crucial part of her teams success. Nice work Amia.
Nevaeh Mansuy
Nevaeh's commitment and relentless work ethic set her apart on and off the court. She approaches every game and practice with a never give up attitude. No ball is too challenging or unplayable. She understands that success is not a destination but a journey and embraces every opportunity to enhance her skills. Her love of the game can easily be seen when she is on the court. Good job Nevaeh!

Check Your Punch Card Balance
Please note, as we get used to this new system, please be aware that punch card balances may be up to 1 week behind.
Once you click the link below and find your child's account number, you will see a number to the left of their account number (i.e. 17). That number will not change, so you only have to remember that number going forward.
We hope that this will help our families.
Scan me to check your punch card balance.
