Kindergarten is the beginning of a beautiful partnership between home and school and the team at OLA is looking forward to beginning to build this bridge together with next year’s families at our upcoming Kindergarten Information Evening. This evening will be held via a zoom meeting link on May 13th at 6:30 p.m. The link is found above as well as on our school facebook and twitter accounts. The evening will be a great chance to meet our Early Learning Team, learn about our kindergarten program, and have any of your questions answered. We hope to see you there!

Our amazing OLA team makes learning relevant, tangible and engaging!

Each morning, thank you for:

• taking the time to complete the Alberta Health Service Daily Checklist
• checking your child's backpack for a water bottle. There are refill stations at the school. The water fountains remain off to follow COVID Protocols.
• placing extra masks in your child's backpack in case they forget one, it falls on the ground or it breaks. Masks are also needed in music class.

Students loved teaching Mrs. Lukie some dance moves as they learn about swing music!

Good afternoon,

It is during the most difficult of times that we see the human spirit shine and 17 schools in the Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division shined bright in 2020 raising an incredible $14676.5 for cancer research. We are so honoured to know that our Terry Fox schools support Terry’s mission of finding a cure for cancer come rain or shine.

In 1980, Terry Fox set out on a mission to transform his dream, to find a cure for cancer, into reality. Terry never faltered in his determination and perseverance and we are honoured to see the Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division family of schools bring the same strength and spirit to this fight 40 years later. This continued support has led to over $800 million dollars raised for cancer research in Terry’s name.

As we all continue amidst these uncertain times, one thing is certain…patients everywhere continue to battle cancer and we cannot let them down. Terry wanted to set an example that would never be forgotten and that example continues on in the spirit, passion and determination of your schools as they fundraise to fight the battle alongside all those cancer patients who count on us for hope and one day…a cure.

With heartfelt thanks,

Oscar Andrade
