Movie Night and Parent Session
It’s happening Thursday October 22 so MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
Connect Charter & School Council will be hosting a movie night and parent session that starts at 6:15 pm.
As in past events you can drop your child off in the gym for a movie and head to our Learning Commons to participate in our parent session. Plan to come straight from work? We will have food ordering options coming soon through HealthyHunger (our FunLunch platform). Stay tuned for our movie selection!!
How do children develop the confidence to say, “This is hard, but I can handle it?”
As children seek greater independence, parents face an ongoing question: When do I step in—and when do I step back?
Drawing on 15 years of working outdoors with children at Canmore Forest Play, we’ll explore how challenge, appropriate risk, outdoor experiences and child-led problem solving can build confidence, resilience, creativity and independence.
Expect stories, practical ideas and plenty to think about—including when helping becomes rescuing, how much challenge children really need, and how we can give them the space to struggle, take risks, make mistakes and discover what they’re capable of.
We are looking for volunteers to help with:
Scholastic Book Fair: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4AA5AC23ABFCC16-65482033-scholastic
Meat distribution: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4AA5AC23ABFCC16-65950044-meat

We’re in the final week of our Playground 50/50 Raffle, and we’d love to finish BIG!
So far, we’ve sold approximately $2,500 in tickets. Can our community double that to $5,000 — or even triple it to $7,500 — before sales close? Every ticket purchased helps grow the jackpot and brings us closer to building our new playground.
There are just a few days left to get your tickets:
During the school week: Stop by the school office to purchase tickets.
Thursday, October 8: Purchase tickets in the evening during conferences in the gym.
Friday, October 9, 8:00–9:00 a.m.: Your FINAL chance to buy! (In the IAC)
Ticket Prices:
$5 for 1 | $10 for 3 | $20 for 8 | $40 for 20 | $75 for 50 | $100 for 70
Cash only for purchases under $75. EFT available for purchases of $75 or more.
If you’ve been meaning to buy tickets, this is the week! Grab yours, help us make one final big push for the playground, and you might just walk away with half the pot!
Let’s see what our Connect community can do!
