Dear Husky Families! 🐾
Looking Back on February…
February was a month full of celebrations and learning. We kicked things off by celebrating our school band at their outstanding concert. Their dedication and talent were truly on display, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments.
February also marked the distribution of learner profiles, providing an important opportunity to reflect on and celebrate students’ academic growth. Thank you to our families for your continued support of your children’s learning journeys.
In athletics, our Grade 6 basketball players participated in their first fun tournament and represented our school exceptionally well. Across all grades, our basketball teams continue to demonstrate strong teamwork and excellent sportsmanship as they head into playoffs. We wish all our athletes the very best as they compete.
Looking Ahead to March…
With spring just around the corner, we look forward to another month filled with learning, growth, and community connection. Please stay tuned for upcoming events, and thank you, as always, for being an important part of our school family.
Warm regards,
Ms. Rita Marie Rahn Principal
Mrs. Shanda Dupras Vice Principal
