Hello Cedarbrae Families,  

It is hard to believe that it is almost December! December will be filled with lots of seasonal and engaging learning opportunities for our students.  Our Schoolwide Events Committee has planned some special School Spirit Days for students, and we will also be having winter options programing for all students in the last week of December.  

In addition to this, on Wednesday December 20 we will be having a Winter Celebration for students and families. There will be a morning and afternoon show available for families to attend.  On Thursday December 21 we will be having a special breakfast with our students for Winter Solstice to support and celebrate the teaching happening in our classrooms related to seasonal changes and cycles.  

Thank You! 

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our School Council, volunteers and many school staff who helped at the casino this past weekend.  This is such an important fundraiser for our school community and provides our students with additional resources, field trips, and in-school opportunities like Inline Skating.   

Mixing Spoon Fundraiser 

Back by popular demand! The Mixing Spoon is a fundraising company providing brownie, soup, chili, cookie, muffin and scone mixes. These products are pre-packaged dry mixes. 

Only $11 each! These make an excellent gift or can be helpful to add a little convenience to your own cupboard! Order forms are due no later than Friday, December 1st. 

Cedarbrae Clothing / Merchandise Store 

Cedarbrae School has launched a new Online Store where you can purchase clothing and other merchandise with our school logo. All items will be delivered to the school. If you are considering purchasing items as Christmas gifts, the last day to order to ensure delivery before Winter Break is December 8. 

Here is the link to the online store:

Bus Zone Changes 

Due to a recent traffic review by the city of Calgary the bus, pick-up, and drop-off zones in front of Cedarbrae School are being rezoned by the city of Calgary and CBE (Calgary Board of Education) transportation.  This change aligns with current traffic laws in the city and supports student safety.  In addition to this, there are more buses expected at Cedarbrae school next year because of the new transportation guidelines set by Alberta Education and we anticipate needing room for one more bus.   In the next couple of weeks, the city will be replacing the signage outside the school and once the new signs are in place the new zoning will be in place.  As a school community, we want to make sure you are informed of this change in advance and appreciate your support as we adjust to the new zoning.  School staff will be present to support this and look forward to the continued safety for our students during the busy pick-up and drop of time.
