WELCOME TO OUR HOUSE

https://ckillam.brsd.ab.ca/about/calendar.

Hi everyone!

It is hard to believe that this is the last newsletter of the year! This has been a school year like no other, as we have experienced our return from Covid protocols and re-learned how to connect with one another.

I want to thank all of you for your support this year and over the three years that I was fortunate enough to work in this building as an administrator. Through good and tough times, our house remained strong.

As we approach the summer break, please take time to reflect and be thankful on the journey we have had and enjoy spending time with loved ones.

Take good care, everyone!

SPRING CONCERT

The ÉCKS performing ensembles presented their final concert at the Lougheed Centre, to a packed house. It was a great way to end a very successful year. Congratulations to everyone involved!

GRADE 8 BAND TOUR

The grade eight band recently returned from their annual concert tour. Their trip consisted of concerts at schools, Senior Homes and outdoor venues. Along with their musical endeavors, they got to take in the Calgary Zoo, Radium Hot Springs, the inaugural ÉCKS Mini Golf “Masters”, and much more. The students were well behaved and represented our school and community well. Way to GO!
