Dear Midnapore Families, we are always appreciative of the relationship we have with each and every one of you. We have noticed that over the past few weeks a number of students have been staying on school property after school. Although we appreciate all of your children, we have asked all of them to follow through with their responsibility of going home when school is over. Students must go home at the 2:30 dismissal time unless they are with a parent. We thank you for your attention to this.
******Energy club is back this week*** If you would like to participate in Energy club, please be at the front doors at 7:30am sharp.
Winter Clothing Donations
As winter approaches, some families in our community are in need of warm clothing for their children. We are currently collecting donations of gently used or new winter jackets for kids, sizes 8-14, to ensure that every child stays warm and safe this season. If you have any jackets that no longer fit your child or have any extras at home, we would greatly appreciate your generosity. Please drop any donations off at the front office. Your support makes a real difference in the lives of local families. Thank you for helping keep our kids warm this winter!
Grade 4 Assembly
Our Grade 4 students are excited to share their monthly sacred teaching of humility. Students and staff will gather in the gym at 1:00pm on Tuesday, December 10 to teach us this very important lesson and introduce our monthly community challenge. We invite you to attend. The doors will open to parents at 12:45. Thank you.

Winter Celebration/Warm Feet for the Street
We are excited to once again host our annual Warm Feet for the Street holiday event. On December 18 we will host two exciting events for our students and families. Ms. Morin has been working extra hard to prepare our Winter celebration concert for each of you. Please join us on Wednesday, December 18 at 12:45pm as every grade in our school will be preparing a special song for you. Our concert will run until 1:45pm.
Warm Feet for the Street- At 1:45 pm we are inviting all families to visit their child(s) classroom and stuff socks for those less fortunate. Our socks will be stuffed with items donated by our amazing teachers and families. You will also have a chance to place your stuffed socks under our tree after school, enjoy some winter treats and enjoy this wonderful experience in the company of our friends and family. Please bookmark this day as it promises to bring joy to all. On Friday, December 20 we will drop all our donations and socks off to the Mustard Seed and do our best to bring joy to those less fortunate. Please start bringing in as many donations as you can (toothbrushes, deodorant, gum, etc.) next week and we will start a collection in our classrooms.
Volunteer Security Clearance
Please note: Your Volunteer Security Clearance process with the Calgary Police Department through your MyCBE account may take up to 6 weeks. We have many volunteers putting in their application more than once. This won’t make your clearance go any faster. We ask you to be patient. We know this is difficult as field trips are coming up fast and teachers and students need you but I do believe that when you start the process again this may prolong the clearance process. Please know that your communication with the CFS may go to your “junk” email so please explore this folder. Once you receive your clearance letter, please upload to your MyCBE account and then let me know so I can ensure that you are cleared in our system. Thank you for your patience as the system tries to keep up. If you have any questions, please call us here in the office at 403-777-8680
