Reminder – Fall Break is next week. There is no school from Monday, November 10th to Wednesday, November 12th.
Remembrance Day Assembly
Today, our school community came together to honour the veterans who have fought for the freedoms we cherish. Our Grade 3 and 4 students from rooms 21, 23, 25, 26 and 27 led a beautiful assembly, sharing the significance of the day through song, poetry, and art. We wish all our families a safe and peaceful long weekend.
Edgemont School Council and Edgemont Parent School Association Update
School Council Meeting and EPSA AGM
Our School Council Meeting and EPSA Annual General Meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday, November 19 at 6:30 p.m. All parents are welcome to attend.
We are still looking to fill the Casino Chair role. The upcoming casino in November has already been planned and organized; this role will involve supporting the school to allocate casino funds for various initiatives and planning the 2027 casino event.
Casino Volunteers Needed!
We’re reaching out to ask for your help with our upcoming Casino Fundraiser on Tuesday, November 25 and Wednesday, November 26 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino (1000–1500 35 Street SE, Calgary).
This is our biggest Edgemont Parent School Association (EPSA) fundraiser, held once every two years. It directly supports many of the programs, activities, and resources that make our school community vibrant and engaging.
Thanks to your support, we’re able to offer enriching opportunities such as field trips, school initiatives, classroom technology, and performances that enhance student learning and growth.
We need volunteers to fill various roles over the two-day event. No experience is necessary—training will be provided on-site. Meals are included during your shift. It’s a great way to give back, meet other parents, and support our school community.
Can you lend a hand?
We know that rescheduled Parent-Teacher Conferences on November 27–28 may create scheduling challenges for our volunteers. To help, Casino Fundraiser volunteers will have the option to book their conference times early, making it easier to participate in both events.
To sign up, please see the following links:
Tuesday, Nov 25- volunteersignup.org/MWJF7
Wednesday, Nov 26- volunteersignup.org/DQJP3
Thank you in advance for your support – we couldn’t do it without you!
