Dear Families, 

We had a wonderful week of learning at Deer Run School! We ended the week with a meaningful assembly celebrating the historic journey to the moon by the Artemis II crew and their powerful messages of hope. We reflected on their reminder that "Earth is a precious, shared “oasis”—one that requires care, love, and responsibility". Their words reinforced the idea that we are all in this together and that, as humans, we have a shared responsibility to care for our planet and for one another. 

We also celebrated the inaugural season of the DRS Dodgeball League, with awards presented to recognize participation and teamwork. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this first season such a success! A huge thank you to Mr. Kyler and Ms. Michaud and their student teachers for providing daily supervision, and special appreciation to Mr. Kyler for using his 3D printer to create keychain recognition awards for all the winners. Students are already talking excitedly about Season 2! 

We are now just one week away from sending our Grade 5 and 6 students to Outdoor School in Kananaskis! A heartfelt thank you to the fundraising committee for spearheading events that reduced the cost by nearly 50% for all students. Thank you as well to the many families who supported these efforts by purchasing donuts, popcorn, and flowers; donating bottles; visiting the Deer Run Christmas Market; and attending the Community Spaghetti Dinner. Your generosity and support are truly appreciated. We were also fortunate to receive a $4,000 Education Matters grant, which further contributed to reducing costs. Thank you to everyone for your continued support of the students of Deer Run School. 

With gratitude, 
Shawna and Krista
