Celebrating our Grade 6 Showcase

Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Grade 6 Showcase on May 27. Our grade 6 students took to the stage with confidence, energy, and enthusiasm, demonstrating their musical abilities along with their courage, growth, and commitment to excellence. We are incredibly proud of each of them.

A huge thank you to our parent volunteers, who dedicated countless hours to organizing, planning, building sets, creating props, and supporting both the setup and takedown of the production. Their contributions continue to play an essential role in creating meaningful learning experiences for our students.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Sra. Anne Grey for her dedication and passion in fostering a love of Music education and the Spanish Language within our school community.

Playground Fundraising

We are excited to announce that our Cash Raffle fundraiser is back in support of the playground renovation!

This fundraiser has the potential to raise up to $15,000 for our new playground, but we need your help to get there. In our last raffle, more than $4,000 in potential fundraising was lost due to unsold tickets. Every ticket sold helps bring us closer to creating a safe, fun, and modern playground for our students.

Prizes: $3,000 and $1,000
Tickets: $20 each

*NEW* An Annual Family & Friends Pass to Heritage Park (valued at $229.95) will be given to the family that sells the most raffle tickets! 

 There are several easy ways to participate:

  • Purchase single tickets or request ticket booklets to sell by emailing WOMfundraising@gmail.com
  • Buy tickets with cash at the school office

Even selling a few tickets can make a big difference.

The draw will take place on the last day of school, June 26.

To donate to the playground project please donate directly to W.O. Mitchell Playground Fundraising Campaign. EducationMatters will issue donations receipts for donations of $20 or more.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Jump Rope for Heart

Our goal is to raise $2000. We have raised $285 so far! Families may choose to create their own online account for their child using the QR code sent home or may donate through the school website: https://jumpropeforheart.crowdchange.ca/119333

Each week we will have a goal of raising $400 with fun Spirit Booster Activities.

Weekly Spirit Boosters:

  • May 29: Picnic outside for super snack
  • June 5: Crazy Hair Day

A Message from the Learning Commons

It’s that time of year for our books to hibernate with their friends — the big overdue book round-up!

Please take a moment to check your child’s CBE eLibrary account for any borrowed or overdue books. Families can log in through the CBE eLibrary Parent Support Portal using:

  • Username: Student CBE ID (same as your MyCBE account)
  • Password: Same password used for Google Classroom

We kindly ask that overdue books be returned as soon as possible. If a book cannot be located, please contact us to discuss replacement options.

For assistance checking your account or discussing replacement options, please contact Jocelyn Hebert at jdhebert@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you for your continued support in helping care for and maintain our Learning Commons collection!

Attention Grade 6 Families: My Transit Ride
