In our Grade 5 science class, we embarked on an exciting project that involved creating our very own parachutes. With imagination and creativity, we gathered various materials such as colorful plastic bags, sturdy strings, and lightweight cups. Each student carefully measured and cut the fabric to form a large canopy shape, ensuring it was perfectly symmetrical to catch the wind effectively.
Exciting news from Spruceview! Trickster Theatre arrived to inspire our grade 1-4 students with an incredible two-day storytelling workshop! The kids dove into an engaging creative writing experience, learning fun techniques to spark their imaginations, connect themes, and craft powerful stories.

What an amazing opportunity for our young storytellers! A big THANK YOU to SVS PAC for funding this event. The kids loved it.
This weekend was an exhilarating adventure at the Division 4 APEGA Science Olympics!

So proud of you, champ!

Our Leadership did a fantastic job preparing and running the ‘Spring Spirit Events’ on Wednesday and Thursday this past week. We had fabulous Pot Luck lunches in our Middle wing and HS wing on Wednesday. Huge thanks to our families for bringing in such delicious dishes for our students to share! On Thursday, students came to school in their designated class colours. What great school spirit! The Spring Events ended with an egg-hilirating Egg hunt in some fabulous Alberta Spring weather! We experienced a snowstorm and glorious sunshine within 30 mins! The elementary wing won with a student finding the last hidden Egg with only seconds to finish. What an amazing fun day! We wish everyone a wonderful Spring Break and wish you all a Happy Easter.
