May 11-15
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.

Music/Band
PLS Spring Concert: It’s that time of the year! Band students are hard at work preparing for their spring concert, which will be held on Thursday June 4th, at 6:30pm. We will feature performances from Grade 7/Grade 8/Grade 9 bands, small groups, solo performances, as well as from our very first Jazz Band! This is an important culmination of all the hard work students have been putting in this year, so all students are expected to be in attendance and performing!
Grade 5-2/5-3: Your student may bring home a ukulele that they have borrowed from the music room. Please ensure that your student returns the ukulele on the next school day in the morning. Students who continually forget to bring their ukulele back will not be allowed to take it home again.
Jazz Band: Our first jazz band rehearsal will be at lunch on Monday, May 4th. Students in jazz band may occasionally be required to attend rehearsals Friday mornings before school as needed.
Grade 8 Band: We will have after-school rehearsal this week Thursday, May 7th from 3:45-4:45. Again, attendance at these rehearsals is mandatory without an email from a parent/guardian.
Grade 7 Band: There are NO after-school rehearsals this week.
