Dear Arbour Lake School Families,

Happy Friday! We’ve had another action-packed week here at school. Our Grade 9 students had a fantastic time this week with a curling session. It was a fun-filled experience. It’s always great to see our students trying new things and enjoying each other’s company. The Senior Girls and Junior Boys Basketball teams wrapped up their seasons with a friendly game against the teachers. It was a fun way to end a great season, and everyone had a great time competing and celebrating the hard work put in throughout the basketball season. Next week, our Junior Gils and Senior Boys basketball teams will also celebrate the end of their seasons in this way. We encourage all students to come out and watch these fun matchups!

Thank you to those of you who supported our first Grade 9 Sailing Trip fundraiser for this year. Our students were selling winter plants to help raise money for their trip to the west coast and these were delivered this week. If you purchased one or more, I do hope you enjoy them, they looked lovely and thank you for supporting our students!

For Grade 6 families, a reminder that if your child is planning to participate in the field trip to Winsport for skiing and snowboarding in January, all paperwork must be submitted by Monday. Please make sure to get that in so your child can join in on this opportunity. Please see Ms. MacDougall’s email sent earlier this week.

Looking ahead, we are excited to invite all families to our Fall Festival of Learning on Thursday, December 12th, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. This is a more casual event where you will have the chance to explore the school and check out what your child has been learning in their complementary courses. There will be a brief welcome, followed by the opportunity to roam the school and visit classrooms. It’s a wonderful way to connect with teachers, other parents, and see the great things your child is engaged in. We look forward to seeing many of you there!

As always, if you need anything or have any questions, feel free to email me at nmlisi@cbe.ab.ca. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to seeing you at the Fall Festival next week!

Warm regards,

Dr. Nancy Lisi,

Principal
