CBC Calgary Eyeopener is Coming to Our Community 

On the morning of Wednesday, May 29, the CBC Eyeopener will be in the community with a live radio show. This could impact traffic in the area so we wanted to make you aware so you can plan ahead. 

CBC Calgary will be hosting a light breakfast at the Queensland Diamond Cove Community Association starting at 7:45. Please note that live audio recording, photography and videography will take place. If you drop your child off in the morning, they will be occupying part of the southern portion of the community association parking lot (weather dependent). The lot will still be open to facilitate drop-offs. 

We are working with CBC to see if some students are able to watch part of the show and have the opportunity to ask questions of the show’s hosts. 

Please plan accordingly as classes will not be impacted and our day will start at the scheduled time. 

Thank you to the Rotary Club  

Thank you to the Rotary Club for coming to our school last week to tune up bikes for many of our students. We had bikes rolling in and out of the gym all day, everyone leaving with a shiny new bell. Thank you as well to our family volunteers for supporting with the organization. We are grateful for the support of all volunteers that facilitate connections to our community. 

Scholastic BOGO Event | June 10-14 

We’re pleased to announce one final Scholastic Book Fair coming in June. This event is special because all items are Buy One Get One free! Students will have an opportunity to visit the book fair on Monday, June 10 to make their wish list and can purchase during school hours on Wednesday, June 12. The fair will be open to families on both Monday and Wednesday from 3:07 – 3:45. There will be a last call on Friday morning before the books are packed up and returned.  

Parents Association | Fundraiser | Spring Raffle 

The Haultain Memorial Parents Association is our school’s parent society. Parent societies are a formal group of parents, incorporated under the Societies Act for the purpose of raising funds for the school. You can check out the Fundraisers page on our website to see what current initiatives are running to support our school.  

Invite | Volunteer Appreciation 

We would like to extend our gratitude to all our volunteers. Parents, guardians and community members have been amazing this year in giving their time in support of students at HMS. We would like to celebrate you all with an invitation to our Volunteer Appreciation. If you have volunteered in any capacity this school year at HMS, you are invited to join us in the gym at 10:00 on Thursday, May 30, 2024. Formal invitations have been sent home with students.  

If you are planning on attending and did not yet send in your paper RSVP, please let us know by emailing us at haultainmemorial@cbe.ab.ca. This will help us with planning for seating and refreshments.
