March Newsletter

As we begin the month of March, I find myself reflecting on how rewarding it has been to step into this role alongside such an incredible team of staff and students. Your dedication and warm welcome have made the start of my tenure truly special, and I am constantly inspired by the energy within our halls. Our sports programs are still in full swing, and it has been a pleasure watching our athletes compete with such heart and school spirit.

We have a busy few weeks ahead, starting with Parent-Teacher Interviews on March 19, which serve as a vital connection between home and school. Shortly after, on March 25, our Travel Club sets off on their much-anticipated journey to Portugal! Finally, as Spring Break approaches at the end of the month, I hope everyone takes the time to rest and recharge. Thank you for making this community such a wonderful place to lead.

The land on which we gather, traditionally known as Asiniskaw Sipisis (Stoney Creek), is Treaty 6 Territory (traditional meeting ground for many Indigenous peoples). The land provided a traveling route and home to the Maskwacis Nêhiyawak, Nakoda, Tsuut’ina Nations, the Métis, and other Indigenous peoples. Their spiritual and practical relationships to the land create a rich heritage for our learning and our life.
