Earlier this year I shared how we use 90 day plans to focus our school improvement efforts. This year we wanted to build a strong base for our Math Mastery approach to learning, helping to meet our school goal of, "100% of students are achieving mastery of math at their academic level". Our staff and students worked hard and meet every aspect of our first 90 day plan with time to spare. We are now in our second 90 day plan building on that initial success. You can always check out our SCIP on the school website for more information.

Dear parents/guardians,

Re: Playground for Grand Trunk

Principal Heidi Zadderey would like to gather parents/guardians input on a new playground. As such, she is putting together an ad hoc group and inviting parents and guardians to join and take part in collecting information and making decisions regarding the new playground. This group will disperse after they decide on some details surrounding the playground. The information collected will be presented to the fundraising group Friends of Pembina Learning Society and their grant writer.

The first meeting of the Ad Hoc group will take place on Tuesday, February 11th at 5:00pm at Grand Trunk High School. It is short notice but the reason for selecting this date is to help move things forward for the grant writer and because it is the same date as the FOPLS fundraising group meeting which takes place at 6:30pm. This allows anyone who wants to attend both, the opportunity to do so.

If you have questions please reach out to Carla Gylander at carla.christensen1@gmail.com.

Parents and Guardians of Wildwood School, I am reaching out to see who might be interested in helping with our annual Grouch’s Ball. I am sure the news has spread that we will need to fundraise for a playground at the new school. Evansview PAC has decided that a portion of our profit we will be making a donation for the new playground. That being said, if you have free time April 25th to help assemble donated items and possibly help set up please reach out. Or possibly April 27th for take down. Please reach out by email! Also, please feel more than welcome to attend!! We would love to see more of the Wildwood community there to make it an ever bigger success! Thank you for your support!
