Dr. Freda Miller Update

 

Dear Dr. Freda Miller Families,

Welcome to February! I honestly don’t know what happened to January, but here we are, welcoming in a new month with thankfully, more and more light to our days.

We have wrapped up our dance residency with Sound Kreation. It was something special to watch students fall in love with moving their bodies, and embrace what was for many, something new. Putting ourselves out there, embracing new experiences and learning to situate ourselves in the uncomfortable help to build resilience, an important skill for life at all ages.

 

Nominate a Bus Driver – a friendly reminder

We have amazing bus drivers who care about our students and work hard to ensure students make it safely to and from school. This is no easy feat and with so little recognition. With your help, I would like to nominate our bus drivers for this year's Driver of the Year award offered by the Student Transportation Association of Alberta (STAA). This award is an opportunity to recognize the exceptional commitment and care shown by those who support students through safe and reliable transportation each day.

If your child rides the bus and you don't mind carving out some time at home, please send me an email or written letter on why you and/or your child loves your child's bus driver. Anything will be appreciated and I will compile the notes to officially nominate our drivers. Please send your letters to me before February 6th. 

 

Yearbook Flyer

We are grateful to have a parent volunteer willing to put together a yearbook again this year. They do need to be pre-purchased, and you can do so through Lifetouch using this link:
