Good Afternoon Saddle Ridge Families,

It’s amazing how quickly the school year is progressing – December is already here! Thank-you to all the parents/guardians who attended Student Learning Conferences last week. We were very excited to see you all here supporting your students. The Saddle Ridge School website contains important information for parents. Our 2023-2024 School Development Plan, 2022-2023 Fee Report to Parents and 2023-2024 Truth and Reconciliation Commitment documents are posted here.

 

Loonies for Lunches  

The Grade 4 Leadership Club is fundraising for The Calgary Foodbank by taking part in the Loonies for Lunches Program. The Leadership Club will start collecting donations next week with a goal to raise $1000. We know, with the support of our wonderful school community we will be able to reach this goal.
