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.
Volunteer Tea
We are so thankful to all of our volunteers at this school. Please join us for our volunteer tea May 10 at 8:45am - 9:45am to celebrate you. Please RSVP by May 6 using this link: https://forms.office.com/r/1nEY131HhL
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!
