Dr. Freda Miller families,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. The weather is certainly keeping us on our toes with the beautiful sunshine on Saturday, strong winds today and the possibility of snow tomorrow. The energy in the air with students does feel more like spring though!

Thank you to our parent volunteers for supporting the most recent Fun Lunch. Our volunteers make all the difference in ensuring things run smoothly.

Spring Forward – Daylight Savings

A friendly reminder that our clocks sprung forward an hour this weekend.

Evergreen Theatre

Our students had the opportunity to enjoy Evergreen Theatre this week. Their performance was titled, Through the Looking Glass: Alice’s Alberta Energy Adventure. Thank you to our Dr. Freda Miller School Society for supporting the performance through fundraising dollars.
