Thank you to all families who provided food and support for our staff during Meet the Teacher night, it was great to see everyone.
Friday’s professional learning day was full of learning opportunities including exploring supports for neurodiverse and language learners. Friday afternoon teachers participated in Metis Fish Scale Art with Amber Boyd. Students in grade 6 will have an opportunity to receive teachings from Amber this week, with other grades following.

Terry Fox
This year for our Terry Fox Day Run and Fundraising, we set a goal of $7000 which seemed like an impossible dream when we started at $0. However, as a result of the dedication, hard work, and generosity of students, staff, parents, and the community, we far exceeded our goal. William D. Pratt and Royal Oak School raised a total of $11,238.15 for cancer research. This goes to show what can be accomplished when we all work together. Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
Calgary Bridge Foundation
The Calgary Bridge Foundation will be at Pratt every Wednesday at lunch hosting their NXT GEN program. This program is free and open to newcomer students, those learning English, students who may benefit from connecting with other students, and first/ second generation Canadians.
