Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week, our Junior Girls Volleyball team became Volleyball Champion by staying undefeated for the whole season. All other volleyball teams made it into their semifinals to finish their impressive seasons. Congratulations to all athletes and thank you to all coaches who gave up countless hours before and after school.
Our BroncoBots were one of four middle school teams that competed against 56 high school teams in Red Deer in the robotics provincial finals. Our robotics team finished 12th overall which is a stunning achievement. Congratulations to all team members as well as the teacher and adults who supported the team during their season.
I hope that you had a chance to connect with some of the teachers of your child to receive feedback about their progress. Please feel free to connect with us if you require further information on your child’s performance.
Have a great spring break!
Sr. Ludwigsen, Principal
