It was an eventful back to school season for École St. Cecilia<br />
School this fall.<br />
St. Cecilia kicked off the school year with a highly attended back<br />
to school BBQ. Parents were able to meet their child’s teacher<br />
and St. Cecilia families were able to reconnect after a long<br />
summer.<br />
In September, Summit Kids launched their new Out-of-School<br />
campus at St. Cecilia to provide quality before and after school<br />
care for our students. After an extensive search for an out-ofschool<br />
care provider, St. Cecilia chose Summit Kids. They pride<br />
themselves on offering a nurturing environment, innovative<br />
learning opportunities and enriched programming for the<br />
students in their care. Summit Kids offers a variety of programs<br />
for students from kindergarten to grade six from the hours of<br />
7:00am to 6:00pm. For more information, visit their website at<br />

This fall École St. Cecilia School entered its second year with<br />
the Hockey Canada Skills Academy. The program is being<br />
offered to all students from Grades 4-6 regardless of skill and<br />
involves two on-ice sessions and on dry land training session<br />
per week. The goal of the program is to develop leadership<br />
skills, promote physical activity and to encourage each student<br />
to grow academically and athletically. St. Cecilia is the first<br />
Catholic French Immersion elementary school in Calgary to<br />
offer the program.<br />
With a start like this, the 2012-2013 school year promises to be<br />
another rewarding year for the students and families of École St.<br />
Cecilia School.<br />

During the month of October, Maple<strong>ridge</strong> Cooperative<br />
Preschool celebrated a spook-tacular Halloween Party. The<br />
wonderful costumes, yummy treats, fun games and crafts made<br />
it a great success. Thank you to everyone who helped out.<br />
Also, the four-year- olds got lost and eventually found while<br />
navigating their way through the giant corn labyrinths at The<br />
Calgary Corn Maze. They enjoyed jumping on giant bouncy<br />

This month at MCP, the four-year-olds will enter the amazing<br />
world of dinosaurs, while the three-year-olds will be exploring<br />
colours and shapes. We have planned another fieldtrip for the<br />
4-year-old classes to visit Fish Creek Library. The children will<br />
learn about good library manners, where to find books, and<br />
how to borrow books.<br />
Each November, the students of Maple<strong>ridge</strong> Cooperative<br />
Preschool receive a customized school t-shirt that they printed<br />
their names on. Students proudly wear it to school and on<br />
special fieldtrips. It also makes a treasured keepsake. Mrs.<br />
Killam looks fabulous in her t-shirt too!<br />

We would like to thank all the families<br />
who took part in our annual pumpkin carving night. We had a<br />
fantastic time making spooky and kooky jack-o-lanterns.<br />
November is going to be a zoo as our students learn all about<br />
animals. Our four year olds will be talking about animals that<br />
live in the jungle, in the water, in the cold, and in the forest.<br />
They will be making lions, monkeys, whales, penguins, polar<br />
bears, and owls, exploring animal tracks and leaning about<br />
hibernation.<br />
Our three year olds will be having fun with farm animals and<br />
pets. They will be making sheep, pigs, mice, fish, and a turtle as<br />
well as learning about how to take care of cats and dogs.<br />
Spaces are available in our afternoon programs as well as<br />
two spaces in our morning three year old class. For more<br />
