Dear Families,  

Thank you to all staff and students for a very engaging last week of March. The week started with a lot of fun and excitement with our spirit week. We were blown away by the talents of our students at the talent show yesterday afternoon. Finally, we had the opportunity to connect teachers and families during our school conferences to support student learning.  Please see below for our weekly update. 

Spring Break 

The school will be closed Monday March 23 to Friday March 27. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday, March 30.  

Badminton Try-outs 

Our badminton teams are starting up with the first round of tryouts on Tuesday, March 31. The detailed schedule is below and on our website calendar. 

Volleyball Players

All Volleyball players are asked to bring their laundered uniforms back to school right after Spring Break. 

 The Wrap-up pizza party for the Jr Teams will be on Friday, April 10 from 1:15-3:00pm. Please ensure your ride home is here for 3:00pm. 

 Grade Seven Community Program 

Over two weeks in April, YW Calgary will be in the grade 7 classrooms running their HERE (HE=here, RE=relationships) for Youth program. Through four sessions, the facilitators will cover topics such as different types of relationships, identifying and understanding emotions, red and green flags, resilience and managing uncomfortable emotions, signs of abuse in relationships, and safety strategies. 

HERE for Youth has been running in various Calgary schools over the past three years, and we are excited to bring it to Panabaker. The program will take place in two sessions per week during class time. 

 April Cafeteria Menu  

The April Cafeteria Menu is available on our school website. You can find it under the Culture and Environment Tab in the Cafeteria and Menu section.
