Principal’s Message
Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope you all had a wonderful time making memories with family and friends.
As we dive back into our school routine, let’s take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Easter. It’s more than just chocolate eggs and bunnies—it’s a time to remember the incredible sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the boundless love He has for each of us. It’s a reminder of our shared faith and the values that unite us as a community.
During our Celebration today, Mrs. Barkman, and Mrs. Anderton reminded us that the tomb was empty (just like this Easter Egg), and that that empty tomb brings the fullness of His resurrection.
So as we embark on this new term, let’s carry the spirit of Easter with us. Let’s approach each day with gratitude for the break we’ve had and the opportunity to focus on what truly matters—Christ and our relationship as His body of believers.
Wishing you all a joyful and blessed Easter season filled with warmth, love, and renewed hope.

My name is Lauren Oscapella and I am the President of the LA Crude Rugby Club in Leduc AB. As an effort to grow the wonderful sport of rugby in our broader community, we are hosting 3 free TRY RUGBY sessions in April for ages U5-U18. The U5-U11 divisions are non-contact with a focus on games and skill development. No experience is necessary for any age group.
Rehoboth Camp Ministry is a Christian summer camp for people with special needs from young children to seniors. We want to share the love of Jesus, provide a summer camp experience, build relationships, and give parents or guardians a week of respite. We need volunteers to make this happen and are looking forward to having you
be a part of this. A willingness to be a friend and help someone have a positive Camp experience is all that is needed. If you are 14 years old and up, have a heart for serving others, have a week to spare this summer, then we are the place for you! Check us out at www.rcmflourish.ca/camp to get more information!
