Liebe Eltern, dear parents and guardians,
Thank you for coming to the parent-teacher conferences. I hope that you have found your conversation with the teacher(s) informative and helpful.
WINS House to Home Program
After spring break, the school will not have any more clothing or shoes/boots at the school as we will be donating all our supplies to WINS. Families who need support with clothing, please, do come to the office, as we will be printing off a voucher for you, so you can still get free clothing. You will simply have to go to WINS in Bowness with the voucher from the school.
Survey Results
After the presentation on Budget & Fees and the SDP, attendees were asked to fill out feedback surveys. Please find the result of the feedback on our school webpage under
“School Planning Engagement” page here: https://bowcroft.cbe.ab.ca/school-planning-engagement.aspx
Next Year: Calgary Campus Open Minds
All our classes are currently looking into and applying for Calgary Campus Open Minds; this is a 5 day field trip away from the school and costs $1250 per class that is accepted. Busing is included for these days in the price. Here is the link for the program: https://cbe.ab.ca/ccom/Pages/Home.aspx each grade team is going to apply and we should know by May 23 who has been accepted

School Question: What is community and how do I fit in?
Fingers crossed that some of the classes will get chosen to go. Thank you Ms. Gartshore for supporting the application-writing process!
Cancelled Field Trip
Sadly, we had to cancel the grade 5 field trip to Fish Creek Park due to the return to winter weather, the snow and the poor driving conditions. Fingers crossed that Fish Creek Park will be able to rebook.
Wishing all of you a wonderful spring break. See you back at school on
Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal
