Orange Shirt Day
Round 1 Power Options
We are looking for parents to join the fun and offer an option in December and repeat it in January. The Power Option will occur on the early Wednesday from 12:45pm to 2:00pm for 75 minutes. If you have a passion, talent, interest or desire to share, please contact Mme Gravelle at pamgr@eics.ab.ca and she will gladly work with you to bring your gifts to OLA children. Children adore having parents part of the learning process!

Join us for READ-IN Month!
Read-in Week is October 7-11 and this year's theme is "Celebrate with Stories."
We always love every and any reason to celebrate reading, so we have expanded Read-in Week to Read-in Month!
During the Month of October we are inviting you and your loved ones to come in and take a few moments (like 30 minutes) to share your favourite picture book with our students.
We are looking for Moms, Dads, Babas, Guidos, Aunties, Uncles, (you get the point) to share their love of learning and favourite books. We welcome you to join us for READ-IN.
Please contact Mrs. Wagner via email susanw@eics.ab.ca for any questions and to arrange a time to share your favs with children and help spread a love of reading!
Thank you to our guests who have already signed up to share their love of reading!
