March 3 to March 7 

Planning Ahead 

Planning for the 2025/2026 school year is coming fast!  If you know that your student will NOT be attending William D Pratt School in the fall, please send a note to Mrs. Lemke at sdlemke@cbe.ab.ca.  Having accurate enrolment numbers is critical as we begin to prepare for the next school year.   

Appreciation for efforts 

Thanks goes out to our students who are responding to requests to avoid mud as we endeavor to keep our school as clean as possible. 

Kindness Week update 

Congratulations to our student leaders as they saw their plans to spread kindness throughout the week come to life.  Secret activities were organized between classes and much joyful kindness was shared throughout the school as students completed scavenger hunts and other fun secret activities.  Students clamored to find a peer who was wearing the same color clothing, making colorful paper chains connecting newly made friends and old friends in the process! All received a lollipop courtesy of the School Council recognizing their collaboration.  On Pink Shirt Day, a class at each grade level with the greatest number of pink shirts, were rewarded with a treat – once again courtesy of the School Council.  The pink beads also came out and many games of rock, paper, scissors were played culminating in a school wide assembly on Thursday with grade level champs battling it out in the gym with classmates cheering them on.  What an exciting week of sharing kindness!
