Dear PLS Families,
Peter Lougheed School staff and students gathered together in assemblies in recognition of Indigenous Veterans’ Day and Remembrance Day on Friday. We are very grateful to the staff and students who led this work – thank you.
This week we also welcomed four student teachers from the University of Calgary. We are honoured to partner with the Werkland Department of Education and look forward to working with pre-service teachers each year.
Please be reminded that Peter Lougheed School is closed for Fall Break from November 10-12. Classes will resume on Thursday, November 13.

Grade 9 Biodiversity Trip to the Zoo
On December 2nd and 4th, grade 9 students will be attending a class on biodiversity at the Calgary Zoo. We need volunteers in order for this trip to go forward and would appreciate help with this. If you have completed the CBE security clearance and are able to help, please contact Kelly Achtymichuk at kdachtymichuk@cbe.ab.ca. Thank you!
