Waste Free Lunch
Our Connaught School EcoTeam is encouraging all students and staff to bring a waste-free snack and lunch to school tomorrow – Tuesday, May 7. This means a snack and lunch that contain nothing that needs to go in the garbage or recycling. We suggest sending food in reusable containers instead of plastic bags, drinks in reusable water bottles, and avoiding snacks wrapped in plastic wrappers when possible. Thank you for your support in our waste-free challenge and in helping the Earth!
Opera
Connaught students in grades 4 – 6 have been working with the Calgary Opera to create an opera entitled “The Dream”. You are invited to watch The Dream on, Thursday, May 30 at 6:00 PM. Every family in grades 4, 5 and 6 will receive 2 tickets. Extra tickets will be handed out if available. Forms to request tickets will be coming home tomorrow. Please watch for them. Return forms even if you are not able to attend so we may release the tickets to others.
Hats on For Mental Health
This week is mental health week. On Wednesday, students are invited to wear a hat for "Hats on for Mental Health Day". Teachers are planning ways to talk about self-regulation and positive mental health in an age appropriate way.
Congratulations Connaught Students and Ms. Jaques
During the 2020-21 school year, Ms Jaques and her class started a project with Sustainable Calgary that resulted in the creation on the Open Street Park next to Connaught School. Recently, the Kids Reimagine School Streets project has won a National Urban Design Award from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in the Community Initiatives category. We are incredibly proud of our students and Ms. Jaques for their creativity and initiative to make a difference in the world.
