Report Card Week

 A picture taken from Spirit Point, Friday. 



Good evening everyone,

My apologies for getting this out late. I was at my masters course yesterday and today in the Fort. I am smarter now,  better fit to lead you all, hopefully not leading you over to "Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump." LOL

Compliments to you:

Mark Ramsankar, ATA president, said some really great things about Spirit and about you at the induction. Pat on the back to you! He noticed you all were exceptional people and our kids too. 

Congrats to our Sara who was inducted into the ATA. We are thrilled for you and are are so happy you got your start with us.

Quick memo this week:

# Tomorrow we have our first Student council meeting. If you could send your kids just before the bell rings we'd appreciate that. These meetings often go over time due to kids arriving late. 

#Math PD happens on Monday. Geri is in the back conference room meeting with the teams then the math team. 

# Family finances Math Night happens on Tuesday Night we are going to have soooo much fun with this. We are playing real life with families. We could use a couple more people to man tables for us, would you like to take this in, promises to be a woot. 

# Pancake breakfast happens this Tuesday. Please encourage your kids to order the money gores to a great cause the Lymphoma Society. They can not order off of their lunch card, can they Shelly and Sheena you guys can best answer that for us. 

#Roger comes to visit us all on Thursday the 9th. 

# exploratories happen Friday.
