Update from the PA

The Wilma Hansen Parent Association monthly meeting was last night in the library. Here is a quick synopsis of what was discussed and decided:

-Thanks to Ms. Berry for another brilliant band camp. Our young musicians are raving about the clinicians, the extra training, the time away with peers... and the food!

- Parents check out the CBE main page under "what's new" for a brief survey regarding the chief superintendent. What qualities are you looking for in the replacement? Now is your chance for input into the selection. Click here.

- Parent/teacher interviews are coming up, no appointments necessary. They will be held in the gym, simply find the teacher you wish to speak with and step up to the desk. The interviews will be on March 20th after noon dismissal from 1-4pm then again at 5-8pm and on March 21 from 9-12 am.

- Spring break begins at noon on the 20th and classes resume March 31st.

- Upcoming Casino Dates: April 1st and 2nd at Casino Calgary: 1420 Meridian Rd NE. Contact Neil at cieno@shaw.ca, he is the Casino Chair for the WHSPA. The sign up sheet and more information is here. You can fill it in, print it off and bring it to the school or simply email it to Neil.

Everyone is welcome to the Parent Association meetings, make a point of coming out to the next one and have your voice heard.
