No school on April 24 - Professional day
You’re invited to... The Story of Us
We are excited to welcome our Peter Lougheed families
to The Story of Us, our school‑wide celebration of
identity, culture, and belonging on May 14, 2026.
Students will be sharing their belonging projects, and
we’ll also be joined by local Northeast Calgary
businesses and cultural artisans who help make our
community so vibrant.
This is a free event, but families will need to reserve
free tickets on Eventbrite to help us plan for space
and safety.
We can’t wait to celebrate the many stories that make up who we are as a community.
