April 20 to April 24 

Round Dance 

Each year CBE hosts a Mini Round Dance honouring our grade 9 Indigenous students and families. This year’s event will take place at Ernest Manning High School on April 30 from 5pm to 8pm. https://insite.cbe.ab.ca/teaching/student-supports/indigenous-education/Documents/Round-Dance-Poster-2025-2026.pdf?fingerprint=ppb20260605024835  

Food Drive 

Pratt will be participating in the Calgary Food Bank’s ‘Spring into Action’ food drive April 20 to April 27. Our goal has been adjusted, with students wanting to raise 2000lbs this year. Buddy homerooms will be working together to see which group can collect the most food. Let's focus on our empathy for those less fortunate and generate a little school spirit at the same time. Prizes will be awarded to the top contributing buddy groups.  

Vaccination Update 

Our school nurse has updated our vaccines dates for grade 6 students. There will no longer be vaccines on April 28. The team will instead be at Pratt on June 11.
