Earth Day Collection Celebration and Assembly
Thank you to everyone who donated items for the Earth Day Donation Celebration. When we come together as a community it is incredible what we can do. Not only are we helping keep our Earth clean we were also able to help out families who might need a little extra support through WINS.
We gathered together as a school on Monday, April 22 in celebration of Earth Day! There were wonderful presentations and sharing from the students in Room 16 and Room 22. They also challenged the staff to many fun games related to the planet.
Paint the Pavement
Paint the Pavement - we need your help! The University Heights Community Association in partnership with the City of Calgary, Activate YYC, University School and Westmount Charter are calling for your designs and time to paint the pavement around the crosswalks near our schools.
A few lucky student designs will be selected to go on the pavement near the school! Templates and instructions are available for interested students at the Univeristy School office. The deadline to submit your artwork is Thursday, May 2. We can't wait to see your artwork in our community!
Lost and Found Clean Up
Our lost and found is over flowing and most items have been there for many weeks. So, at the end of this week we will be packing up all unclaimed items at the end of the week and donating them.
