Appreciation Dinner
The Connect Parent Council is organizing a dinner for our teachers during the upcoming Parent-Teacher Interviews on Thursday, October 9. To show our gratitude, we will be providing a taco bar and we are seeking donations to help complete the meal.

If you would prefer to contribute a cash donation that will go towards purchasing items for the dinner (e.g. proteins), you send an e-transfer** to [email protected], please include “October 9 staff appreciation dinner” in the message of your e-transfer.
**Note: These funds will be used for the dinner and any surplus funds will be saved/allocated to the next staff appreciation dinner.
Donation Drop-Off Details:
Items may be dropped off at the school staff room any time before 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 9. We kindly ask that all donations be clearly labeled “Staff Dinner” and, if possible, placed in disposable containers.
Thank you in advance for your continued support and generosity. Your contributions are appreciated by both the staff and the Parent Council.
Fun Lunch through Healthy Hunger
Our School Council coordinates a “FunLunch or Snack” every week for our families to participate in (if you choose). You can purchase as many or few lunches and snacks as you wish. To get started first you need to register for a healthy hunger account.
Have a child at another school that is using Healthy Hunger? You can simply log in to your existing account and add your Connect Student to your current Healthy Hunger Account!! It’s easier than you might think. Click HERE to get started.

Dear Parents,
This year in Outdoor Education, grade 7 classes will be working with the Bow Habitat station to raise Rainbow Trout. The eggs will arrive in January 2026, and will be cared for by students until their release in an approved Alberta lake in the spring. The trout will be located in the Science lab, as such all students will have a chance to observe their lifecycle from egg to fry.
To be prepared for the arrival of the eggs Mr. Cadman will need to obtain equipment for this project. In order to reduce costs, we are hoping that members of the Connect community might first see if they currently have any of the following equipment at home, possibly not in use, and might consider lending or donating it to the program (See Below). If you are able to help acquire this equipment, please contact Mr. Cadman: [email protected]
