Que Pasa
We are excited to announce that on Monday, May 7, 2024, at 1:00 pm, the Calgary Board of Education’s Spanish Bilingual Schools, from elementary to high school, will come together at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium to present and celebrate the Spanish language, culture, and music through Que Pasa. Approximately 650 students will sing, dance, and perform in bands to celebrate various genres of music, ranging from folkloric/traditional to contemporary styles. We are pleased to have CBE’s dignitaries and external international delegations in attendance. As well, CBE’s newly appointed Chief Superintendent Joanne Pitman will also be sharing a few opening remarks.
We cordially invite all school families, community members, and interested stakeholders to be part of this fantastic celebration of our Spanish Bilingual program.
