A Valentine’s Prayer
I said a Valentine prayer for you
and asked the Lord above
to fill your heart and bless your soul
With the precious gift of love.
I asked Him for sincere love
The kind that's meant to stay
Just like the generous love
You give to those you touch each day.
I prayed for love from family
And from every cherished friend
Then I asked the Lord to give you
His love that knows no end.

Tasty Treats Eating healthy doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy some treats occasionally. Kids (and the kid within each of us)
love to have special treats that are fun and switch things up from the everyday norm. But that doesn’t
mean we need to sacrifice nutrition. There are lots of great substitutions for turning well loved, classic
desserts into a special treat with extra nutrients to help support our bodies-like healthy fats (avocados), fiber
(chia seeds) and protein. There are a variety of different recipes for these tasty treats-look for recipes
that have minimal sugar (also honey, maple
syrup etc.).
Chocolate avocado mousse
Chia pudding parfaits
Energy balls
Black bean brownies
Freezer fudge

This month our Even If You Miss podcasters have been hard at work researching and preparing for interviews. Some of the topics we have been exploring that are up and coming or already out are: Ways to be a Kidpreneur, The Power of Positivity, Peace and Quiet, Nutrition, The Art of Being Weird, Trying New Things, the Wonder of Kids, and so much
more! We have also had the privilege of interviewing Global TV Morning News Anchor Dallas Flexhaug for our podcast!
There are many ways that you could listen to our podcast. Some ideas are:
Listen to it once a week in the car (they are only 5-10 minutes long) and have a talk about what they heard and set one action to try for the week
Listen to it at home and use it for a journal prompt
Listen to us and then share the podcast with one person!
Our mission is to get our messages out there to as many people as possible in order to help as many kids as we can get started on healthy habits at a young age. Check us out in the Western Wheel where we talk more about our purpose
for creating a podcast. Also, you can follow us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts under Even If You Miss.

Bus Changes AND Messages to your child
Occasionally it may be necessary to have your child hop on a different bus with another student, or perhaps get off at a different stop after school. In order to avoid disappointment because buses are full, our transportation department requests that any bus changes be made 24 hours ahead. The parent of the student requesting the change can contact Vanessa Douville, Transportation Officer, at transportation@redeemer.ab.ca or (403) 938-8073 to make the request. Names of the students and their bus route numbers are required when emailing or phoning. MESSAGES TO YOUR CHILD: We understand that it may be necessary to give your child a message throughout the day, however, we DO NOT interrupt classes during instruction time. We will call your child down at 1st or 2nd recess and/or afterschool to provide the message. Thank you for your understanding.
