The Grade 2s had a very special visitor today — Mayor Tanya Thorn! 🎉 She stopped by to personally thank the students for their incredible efforts in raising over 400lbs. of food for the Okotoks Food Bank before Easter. 🥫💛 Each student was presented with a certificate, an Okotoks pin, and a pencil as a token of appreciation. Merci, Mayor Thorn, for your time and kindness!

🏫 Behind every smooth running school is a team of admin superheroes armed with coffee, calendars, and the magical ability to find any missing form. They run the school with nothing but a phone in one hand, a band-aid in the other, and a sixth sense for knowing exactly where every lost water bottle is hiding. 🤭 They juggle attendance, ice packs, field trip forms, and 47 “Can I call my mom?” requests before 10am, and they do it all with grace and a smile! 🥰 We honestly don’t know how we’d function without them… and frankly, we’re not willing to find out. 💙💛 Thank you to our amazing admin ladies — Desi and Jodi to the real MVPs of the school! 🏆 #AdminAppreciation #SchoolWouldFallApartWithoutYou
