Summer CALM Grade 9’s
Due to very high interest in the Summer CALM program, we have decided to offer 3 more courses this summer using our satellite facility in Canmore, Alberta. This program will follow a similar program to the Summer CALM program run at the Outdoor Learning Centre, but the schedule and timing of activities will differ. We will send the final schedule for this course in June with our parent communication.
Please note: This course is NOT run from the Outdoor Learning Centre. This course is located in Canmore, Alberta and will be run out of our bunk houses located at Elizabeth Rummel School.
Please register through CB-eLearn.
Summer CALM (Canmore Location) Course Dates (these additional courses are being offered):
- July 2-6, 2024
- July 8-12, 2024
- August 5-9, 2024
Y-Mind Teen
Y-Mind Teen is a free early intervention support for young people experiencing mild-moderate stress and anxiety through the YMCA for teens 13-18. Please see the link here for more details and to register.
Asian Heritage Month
Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity for us to learn more about the diverse culture and history of Asian communities in Canada, as well as to acknowledge the many achievements and contributions of people of Asian origin who, throughout our history, have done so much to make Canada the country we know and love.
The theme for Asian Heritage Month 2024 is “Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future: Amplifying Asian Canadian Legacy”. This theme celebrates the rich heritage and contributions of people of Asian origin in Canada while also looking forward to the future with optimism and hopefulness. We are acknowledging the voices, stories, and achievements of people of Asian origin in Canada and recognizing their contributions to all aspects of our society, including the arts, sports and social justice.
David Thompson School will be recognizing Asian Heritage Month through a series of announcements and library displays. We will also be welcoming radio announcer Andrew Uyeno to speak to students on Tuesday and Thursday next week. Parents are welcome to attend. Here is the schedule of presentations by homeroom:
