Message from Interim Principal – Rick Petrowitsch

Next week will be a very amazing week. Que Pasa on Tuesday, School Council Meeting on We had a wonderful meeting with Laura Hack, CBE Trustee for Wards 3 & 4. Laura attended our Parent School Council meeting on Wednesday, and she shared important information and was open to many questions. She mentioned how important it is for parents to become knowledgeable about the many changes in policies that are coming from the Alberta Government. Trustee Hack also shared the good news about the money that is being allocated for reducing class sizes. We are not sure when the money will come to the school level and what the impact will be for Collingwood School. Stay Tuned.

I hope everyone received the good news regarding the new Principal coming to Collingwood School starting on June 1. I will be meeting with Eve Moreau over the next two weeks as we formulate a transition plan.

Thank you to all the parent volunteers who have helped with the swimming programs. The students have really enjoyed the program and always come back to the school talking about their fun experiences.

If you have volunteered this school year, please try to attend our Volunteer Appreciation on Thursday, May 21. This is our opportunity to thank you for all your help this year.

Here is a website you may want to visit. Casamexico.ca for a variety of Spanish cultural events. This Sunday at the Jubilee Auditorium, there will be a free event, “Mexico en el carazon” Mariachi music, traditional dance, norteno band and marimba.
