Dear McKenzie Lake Families,
It is hard to believe this was only our second full five-day week and it led us right back into a four-day week with Thanksgiving on Monday. We hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving long weekend with friends and family.
Fashion Show Friday
Friday morning we had our second Fashion Show Friday, where a couple of students from each class are invited to model clothing items from our Lost and Found and visit classrooms with Ms. McComish and Mrs. Cooper in hopes the lost items find their rightful owners. Approximately half of our Lost and Found was claimed, but there are several items remaining. With cooler mornings and warmer afternoons, sweaters and jackets are left outside at recess and lunch. When items are labeled it is much easier to return them to their rightful owner.
Child and Youth Well-Being: A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians
The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and will explore topics such as vaping, brain development, mental health, and sexual health.

CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information.
Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success.
The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver's understanding of a variety of health-related topics.
Thank you for your time and consideration to join us.
Sincerely,
Dayna McComish
