What a special Remembrance Day ceremony we had at Wildwood School. Thank you to the many families that joined us. We also are very proud of our choir and Mrs. Sayer, who performed at the Field of Crosses Sunrise Ceremony.

Dressing for the Weather
It is that time! Please ensure that children come to school every day ready for cold/wet weather. As you know, the weather in Calgary can change quickly and significantly - children need to have warm outdoor clothes. Outdoor clothes should include: a toque, mittens, a thick jacket or layers, socks and warm shoes or boots. All children should have indoor and outdoor shoes. Please label your child’s items. The lost and found is already overflowing!
Traffic
We are pleased that the movement of the entry to the staff parking lot, change of permanent streets signs on 45th ST, change of yield sign to stop sign on 5th AVE and the use of sandwich board reminders appear to be helping traffic flow.
There continues to be significant congestion on 45th ST and 5th AVE.
Please:
SLOW DOWN
Do not jaywalk
Obey traffic laws
Be patient. Everyone is trying to get somewhere. No one is more important than anyone else. But everyone’s safety is very important.
Owl’s Nest Book Fair
We are excited to have local bookshop Owl’s Nest in our school for a book fair on December 4th and 5th! Students will have time to shop, and we welcome parents to pop in too! More information to follow. We will have a Scholastic Book Fair later in the year.
If you are interested in volunteering for the book fair, please reach out to our new library asst, Sayaka Kawasora Lopez - ‘Ms. S’ @ SaKawasoraLopez@cbe.ab.ca
