This November we marked Remembrance Day by walking to the Field of Crosses on Memorial Drive and having an assembly. We reflected and remembered the soldiers who made sacrifices for us.

Ms. Judy from Role Model Academy continued her visits to teach us about making good choices for ourselves and our friends. Her lessons are really fun and enjoyable!

We had a book fair to raise money for the school and got lots of good books, posters and other fun things! Thank you, Ms. McKay, for arranging and hosting it.

On Thursday, November 14 we participated in the Guinness World Record for most cup stackers worldwide within 24 hours. This year we helped to make the record, the total was 638,831 students, a new world record compared to 2018 which was 623,390. It’s crazy to think that thousands of speed stackers around the world can work together to make a record. Thank you, Ms. Merilovich, for hosting the cup stacking club.

On November 29, we had Deck the Halls coffee and treats. Afterwards, parents helped decorate the school, it looks incredible! A big thank you to Higher Ground for donating coffee and treats!  We also started collecting donations for the Calgary Food Bank and books for Calgary Reads.
