Healthy Hunger  
Fun lunch for Grades 1 – 3 orders are due by Saturday, May 11 for Subway and Saturday, June 15 for Panago (note this is a new date, so if you ordered earlier in the year, you likely haven’t ordered it already). We suggest that families login to Healthy Hunger and check to see if you have ordered fun lunch for the upcoming dates. 

Whole School - May 22 deadline for Kernels popcorn. 

Swimming Lessons 
We are excited to announce that all students will be taking part in swimming lessons in June at Sir Winston Churchill Pool.  Each class will receive four consecutive days of lessons.  We are in the process of preparing consent forms and we should be sending them home very soon for your review and return. 
 
We will require many volunteers for each class that will assist the students at the swimming pool.  Volunteers must have a valid police clearance completed through CBE.  Please email Elise at ebwolff@cbe.ab.ca to check on the status of your police clearance or to get the volunteer clearance process started.  It can take up to 6 weeks to get the clearance completed. 

The City of Calgary provides a discounted and subsidized price for students to attend swimming lessons.  If you require financial assistance for swimming lessons, please contact Kim at kiwong@cbe.ab.ca.  This information needs to be provided before swimming lessons start.  

Staff Appreciation Week 
Thank you so much to our generous and thoughtful School Council for spoiling the entire staff all week with delicious treats and thoughtful notes.

 Volunteers Needed – French Student Books  

We really need your help! We have thousands of levelled books that need to be re-labelled in order to be put back in students' classrooms.  You do not need to read or speak French to help!  We are inviting any parents/guardians who have a valid Police Clearance Check to come to the school whenever it is convenient. You do not have to confirm your attendance, you can simply come when you can. Thank you to all the volunteers who have already supported us with this project!  

Next Year Plans 

We are working on our plans for the 2024-25 school year.  Please let us know if your child will not be attending Hidden Valley School.
