EARL GREY WEEKLY UPDATE
As the weather continues to warm up, it’s been wonderful to see students enjoying more opportunities to be active and engaged in their learning. Our Quickdraw Animation Residency is continuing, and students are learning so much about the animation process while exploring their creativity.
We also had a fantastic week with Rocks and Rings, where students had the chance to learn the basics of curling and try out their skills right here at school.
Next week, we are excited to keep the momentum going by welcoming the Calgary Flames Foundation Classroom Crew, who will be working with students on floor hockey and helping to keep our kids active and having fun.
A big thank you to our School Council and Parent Society for making these incredible opportunities possible for our students. Your support truly enriches the experiences we are able to offer at Earl Grey!
