Beading Club

David Thompson School is seeking families and community members who might be interested in supporting a student beading club. If you have some availability to support with this, please contact Tracy Evans tcevans@cbe.ab.ca to discuss the initiative.

Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth

The Mentorship Program, part of the Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS) initiative, supports newcomer immigrant and refugee youth in grades 7–12 with settling into Canadian schools and communities. Through resources, information, and personalized guidance, the program helps ease the transition for these students.

The Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth will be offering this mentorship program Thursdays at lunch beginning on December 5.  Use the following links for more information and to print the consent form.  Copies of the consent form will also be available in the office for your convenience.

Child and Youth Well-Being Family and Caregiver Fall/Winter Series

The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in a pre-recorded and live online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and Recovery Alberta and will explore topics such as Peer Pressure, Healthy Relationships, Mental Health for Highly Sensitive Teens, and navigating Parent-Teen relationships. Acting on feedback from participants who joined us during our live online sessions over the past two years, moving forward we invite all guardians and parents to listen to the pre-recorded or live sessions at their convenience.
