Have a wonderful weekend!

Mr. Beattie & Ms. Toor

Our Vista Heights Activity Day was a huge success!  Students circulated through ten different fun-filled stations which focussed on different virtues. For many, the highlight event was running the Terry Fox course which fittingly demonstrated the virtue of Service. 

Please ask your child to share with you the activities in which they participated.

Azaria, Sammy and Kalem are demonstrating how there are many ways to move a ball though the 'Hoops & Hurtles' activity. 

This showed how there are more than just one way to do things, so, we need to try new ideas - we need to be  flexible!

Thank you to all families who have contributed to the 

Terry Fox Fund.  

    

Donations to the will be accepted tomorrow.

The Terry Fox Run will  take place tomorrow afternoon, September 26, as part of our 'Vista Virtues' activity day. Please dress appropriately for the weather conditions as many of 'Virtue Stations will be outside. 

Each morning, the students will be collecting coins to contribute

 to Terry Fox Cancer Research.  

Your donation is really appreciated!

Wild about Weeding!

Grounds for Change offers a free weeding program Wild about Weeding every Fall. We were lucky to get this oportunity, as it offers an insight into successful methods for planning our landscape. Our naturalization area complements our classroom teaching connected to the program of studies. Today an expert from Calgary Zoo came to Vista Heights to lead short lessons about weeds and their identification. We went out to the natural area for our weeding session.

The Grounds for Change program gave our students an experience of working in our natural area. The program translates knowledge into effective integrated learning which maximize meaningful learning opportunities that arise from our natural area.  

Ask our child about their experience weeding today!

This week we are preparing for the Terry Fox Run which will 

take place on Thursday afternoon, September 26, 

 as part of our 'Vista Virtues' activity day.

We have been reading about and watching video clips that tell 

about the our Canadian hero. 

Each morning, the students will be collecting coins to contribute

 to Terry Fox Cancer Research.  

Your donation is greatly appreciated!
