November Principal's Message

Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,

I hope you all have truly enjoyed all the beautiful weather we had in September and October and are now settling in the reality of snow and colder temperatures (brrr!). Please remember to continue sending your children with warm clothing (jacket, hat, mitts/gloves and snow pants). It’s wonderful to see how much fun our students have in the snow when they are comfortable and warm building snow forts, making snow angels, running, jumping and playing. 

This month, I want to express my gratitude to our amazing parent council, parent volunteers and our staff who celebrated some amazing milestones at the annual Chinook’s Edge School Division celebrations in Bowden... 

Our parent council and parent volunteers have been working tirelessly to support our school. We truly couldn’t orchestrate early success and make Olds Elementary a great place to learn and grow without your support. You are enhancing our students' early educational experience and you continue to be a tremendous help to our very busy staff. Thank you for giving your time, patience, and energy to our school and our amazing students. 

I also want to take a moment to recognize our staff who were honored at Chinook’s Edge School Division Celebrations 2024. Congratulations to you all on your wonderful milestones!

Julie Bjarnason (grade 2 teacher) - 25 years

Karen Bouliane (grade 1 teacher) - 25 years

Leona McEwen (educational assistant) -  25 years

Krystal Hodge (kindergarten teacher) - 15 years

Once again, thank you for your continued support, engagement, and trust in our school community. We look forward to a fantastic month of November filled with learning, growth, and gratitude.
