TRC Spreading the Eagle’s Love Mural
Our incredibly artistic and compassionate students created our first mural to recognize the Windsor Park commitment to Truth and ReconciliACTION. It is a breathtaking piece of art that greets all visitors to our school. Thanks and gratitude to Miss Mah and Ms McCowan for leading this important work.

Looking Ahead
Terry Fox
Windsor Park School will be participating in the Terry Fox run and fundraising campaign. We’ve already raised $545.00! We are grateful for online donations and will be recognizing our efforts in late October. This year marks 45 years since Terry Fox ran his Marathon of Hope. We’re excited to take part in this annual tradition that raises awareness and funds for cancer research, celebrates the legacy and values of Terry Fox, and promotes connection, community, and school spirit. Teachers will be discussing Terry Fox with their students to develop empathy, understand resilience, and recognize what this Canadian athlete, hero, humanitarian, and activist did to show bravery, courage, and empathy.
“Terry Fox started a marathon against cancer. Together we can finish it.”

School Council
We are excited to create a new School Council for Windsor Park School. All parents are automatically part of a school council and welcome to attend any council meetings. On October 8 from 6-7:30pm at Windsor Park School we will be having a workshop hosted by ASCA (Alberta School Council Association) to learn about the role of a school council and discuss roles. There will be lots of opportunities for parents to share in building our school culture, a sense of belonging, and a community of caring individuals. More information will be coming in the next weeks. School council members work together to support and enhance student learning. They provide a way for members of the community to consult with and offer advice to principals and school boards.
School councils are legislated under the Education Act and are mandatory for all schools in the public education system
Parent Society
Thanks and gratitude to several parents for coordinating our application to Service Canada to become a fundraising society. This will allow us to find creative ways to support enrichment activities at Windsor Park School.
