Wow What a Week!

The GS School Community is immersed in revitalizing “The Leader in Me”

philosophy. The Leader in Me provides a vision and language to lead the school

in a way that addresses all areas of development. As each child discovers and

develops his or her unique gifts and talents, they are given opportunities to lead.

As leaders, they become active, engaged partners in their own education and

their self-confidence, responsibility, and initiative grows. The children quickly

understand the benefits of different gifts and talents; they learn to listen to new

ideas, work together to achieve results, and motivate one another to be the best.

We will be including a “Leader in Me” monthly letter describing the work we

are doing at GS and an area that you can reinforce at home, if you choose.

Check out this month’s newsletter below!

Habit 3: Put First Things

First. What Could Make a Difference?

What one thing could you do on a

regular basis, that you are not

doing now, that would make a

significant, positive difference in

your work and personal life?

School Fees

Student invoices will be coming home this week. Please check your childs’ back pack

for the invoice sheet.

These fees pay for activities and field trips for your children.

Payment is not required in full. You may pay partial or full payments online or at

the school whenever possible.

If you are financially unable to pay please send in a letter regarding your financial

status to Ms. Elizabeth Bennett.

A Message from School Council

City of Airdrie Homeowners will find their 2018 Property Tax Assessment Notices in their mailboxes this week. Please take note of whether your School Support Declaration section is correct. If it requires updating to ensure your tax dollars support Catholic schools rather than public, there Is a School Support Declaration form and submission instructions available on the City of Airdrie website (www.airdrie.ca).

Please join us at our next School Council meeting on Monday January 22, 2018 at 6:30pm.
