Semaine de la francophonie

The École David Thompson School semaine de la francophonie is coming up March 3-7 and will include Métis jigging, delicious crêpes, a cabane à sucre and many activities to celebrate French language and culture around the world. We can’t wait to celebrate together! Many thanks to School Council for their generous support of this event!

Mme Kim is seeking volunteers for March 5th to support with set up and clean up of our event with Crêpe Delicious. If you’re willing to support with all or part of this day, please email kncollins@cbe.ab.ca

All students have until February 28th to order their crêpe via Healthy Hunger. Students who have ordered a Crêpe will get to eat it in the Atrium during their designated time on March 5th. There are a number of delicious and tantalizing options available! 

Pink Shirt Day

This year, Pink Shirt Day, or Anti-Bullying Day, is on February 26. This important day is centred around the ideas of diversity, inclusion and acceptance. It is a day when people come together by wearing pink shirts to school or work to show they are against bullying. Please join us in raising awareness and lending your voice to this important movement by wearing pink on this day.
