Which inspired which? Student inspired teacher? Teacher inspired student? Addison’s writing sparked something in Mrs. A and she went on to write her own piece, mimicking the structure and style of the original. See the two different pieces! How do they compare? #SFALearning

Addison, a grade 8 student, came by to share her poem with Mrs. A this morning - the message was too good not to share ♥️

There was a lot of lifting other up today as part of our #PinkShirtDay! Thanks to all students who wore their pink to show their support and who spread joy today by participating in acts of kindness.

Pancakes on a Friday? Yes please! A wonderful morning of enjoying breakfast together to celebrate Shrove Tuesday since we won’t be together next week.

St. Francis of Assisi will be closed next week as Monday, Feb. 20 is Family Day followed by Christ The Redeemer's (CTR) annual Faith Days event. Faith Days provides a way for CTR teachers to gather and grow in their faith as a school community. 🙏 Following Faith Days, teachers will be attending the annual Palliser District Teachers' Convention held in downtown Calgary for two days. We hope you have a safe and happy week ahead. Classes will resume Monday, February 27th.

Students are rocking their pink for #PinkShirtDay

Thank you to Parent Council and parent volunteers to orchestrating pancake breakfast for the whole school today! With students being off next week, we wanted to celebrate Shrove Tuesday as we prepare for a season of fasting during Lent.
