Happy Friday, Raven families,

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend, filled with sunshine and adventures, speckled with a bit of reading and robotics. 

RTA Band:

• Congratulations to the Grades 8 and 9 band that played at the Alberta International Band Festival this past week.  The students should be very proud of all the hard work they put into their performance!
• Recordings will be posted on D2L this weekend for parents to listen to at home.  
• Stay tuned for more information soon on the next RTA band fundraiser through Coco Brooks. – Dr. Kristine Gray

Pink Shirt Day is February 28, 2024:

• Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. It has since been recognized annually worldwide as a day to stand against bullying.
• Pink Shirt Day encourages Albertans to be inclusive, welcoming and supportive with colleagues, clients, friends and family. Building healthy relationships is one of the best ways to prevent bullying and create safe environments. 
• Getting involved is easy:
  • Wear your pink shirt, take a photo and share it on social media with the #PinkShirtDay hashtag.
• share Pink Shirt Day resources on social media
• practice acts of kindness
• discuss your role in bullying prevention with your friends and family 
• learn where to turn for help, like Bullying – Find supports
• write a letter or email to the editor of your local newspaper or radio station about the importance of promoting healthy relationships - Alberta Government website
