Halloween, Diwali, and Culture Day

Thank you to everyone who worked together to make our Halloween activities and Diwali celebrations a success.  It was wonderful to see many students and staff enjoying some opportunities to learn about each other.   

Landscaping Update 

We are grateful for the continued support of our staff, students and community as our landscaping upgrades are ongoing. Please remind your children not to walk on any of the new grass that has been installed, as it will need several years to get established before it can take foot traffic. The stairs and landings have now been poured and have cured, so that our bus doors will be accessible next week!

We would like to invite all families to send a photo (or photos) of friends and family members who have served in any military or associated service organizations, in service of making our world a better place. Please send all photos to jlgarbutt@cbe.ab.ca 
 
With the photo, please include the name of the person, their rank and the name of the student(s) who attends Peter Lougheed School.

Athletics 

Our junior girls started the week off playing really well as a team in two home games.  Our junior boys came up short in two tough losses this week.  Finally, our senior girls basketball team lost a super close one on Wednesday. 

Just a reminder of parents of both our soccer teams and basketball teams that we need you to pay your team fees as we need to pay our referees for the season and pay for the tournaments we were in.  If you are having trouble paying your fees on Powerschool please contact the office and they can help you out. 

Athletic Schedule

Please ensure that if your child is planning to try out for an athletic team that they have turned in their athletic tryout purple form to the phys ed office.  If students still need this form, they can pick one up from the pe office in the gym. 

Physical Education 

Just a reminder to all parents to ensure students are coming with proper clothing so they can participate in Physical Education class.  The weather is getting colder in the mornings so we need to have students come prepared to be outside.  Also, any students wearing crocs or sandals/flip flops will not be allowed to participate in the activities as there are major safety concerns with these types of footwear.
