Happy Friday, Raven families,
Wishing everyone a great Valentine’s Day and a relaxing Family Day weekend. With the ridiculously cold weather outside, I hope that you stay warm and find time to recharge over the break. Looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday!
RTA Wall of Fame - featuring Grade 7 Ravens!
Dear grade 7 RTA Families: we are excited to celebrate your child's achievements on our “RTA Wall of Fame”! Our goal is to foster community, belonging, and pride by recognizing (“R”) their talents (“T”) and achievements (“A”) outside of school.
We invite your child to bring in items that highlight their achievements from 2023 – current date. Suggested items include:
- Medals, ribbons, or small trophies (from music, sports, etc.)
- Photos of your child in action or celebrating an accomplishment
- Artwork created at home
- Creative literature (poems, songs, etc.)
- Any other items that showcase your child’s efforts!
All grade 7 students will have from February 18th - March 31st to showcase their items, which will be displayed in an enclosed case in our hallway. Items will be returned to your child in April.
Please ensure all items are labeled with your child’s name and homeroom number.
We look forward to celebrating your child’s achievements at RTA School!
GO RAVENS! - Mr. Lee
Pink Shirt Day | Wednesday, February 26, 2025:
- In response to a new Grade 9 student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt, two Nova Scotia high school students took a stand against bullying by distributing pink shirts to all the boys in their school to wear. This act of kindness has grown into a symbol against bullying in schools across the globe.
- On Wednesday, Feb. 26, wear a pink shirt to help spread kindness and a sense of belonging!
- Promoting inclusion is something that occurs in our schools every day. Check out some of the information and resources available!
- Learn more about how the CBE works to create safe and caring school environments.
- Learn more about Bullying Prevention – Actions We Can Take from the Government of Alberta and download and share resources to help prevent bullying.
