Lemonade Stand Update – What an Incredible Community Success!
We are absolutely bursting with pride and gratitude to share some truly fantastic news from the Sunalta Student Care Lemonade stand initiative! Thanks to the generosity, kindness, and community spirit of everyone who stopped by, supported, donated, or spread the word… an amazing $900 was raised for the Calgary Food Bank! And here’s where it gets even more inspiring…
The owner of Sunalta Student Care has generously offered to MATCH the donation, bringing the grand total to an incredible $1,800 going directly to support those in need in our community!
But the giving didn’t stop there! Alongside the monetary donations, there was also a wonderful collection of food items generously contributed, making an even greater impact for Calgary families. This is what community is all about—coming together, lifting each other up, and making a real difference. From the enthusiastic students who ran the stand, to every single person who showed up to support, this achievement is yours. Thank you for showing what’s possible when kindness meets action. Thank you for giving back. Thank you for making a difference.
Class Size Reduction Grant
We are pleased to inform you that our school has been allocated 2 additional teaching positions for the 2026–27 school year through the Government of Alberta’s Class Size Reduction Grant. This grant funds teaching positions that support improved learning conditions in kindergarten to Grade 9 classrooms. This funding is specifically intended to help reduce class sizes in core subject areas (English Language Arts/French Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies), with priority given to schools experiencing the greatest class size pressures.
This decision was made using system-wide data that considers:
- The number of classes exceeding provincial class size benchmarks
- Projected enrolment and class organization
- School programming and grade configuration
Our goal is to ensure students benefit from:
- Increased teacher attention
- Improved classroom learning environments
- Greater support for diverse learning needs
We remain committed to supporting strong learning environments for all students and using our resources thoughtfully and strategically.
