There will be no school on Friday, Sept 30th, in observance of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

To kick off National Truth and Reconciliation Week our Phys. Ed classes are having a unit where they are learning Indigenous games. The students are having a lot of fun. The students will also be learning about First Nations history and traditions throughout the week as we prepare for Orange Shirt Day on Thursday.

First day in the new office Mrs. Hempel! It needs a bit of decorating but it definitely looks good on you. Congratulations on your new position as principal of Ecole Good Shepherd School and we all look forward to a fabulous year with you at the helm.

Truth and Reconciliation – Students are encouraged to wear an orange T-Shirt on Thursday, September 29th to school to acknowledge and remember the impact that residential schools had and continue to have on our Indigenous populations.

A huge thank you goes out to the Okotoks RCMP who helped out patrolling one of our main intersections during last Friday’s Terry Fox Run. Much appreciated!

Fabulous weather for our annual Terry Fox Run this morning. It started off with a kickoff assembly and the students headed out from there. Everyone did amazing.

After 25 years with Christ the Redeemer, and 17 years at Ecole Good Shepherd School, Wayne Lorenz is in his last few days before he retires. He has been an amazing teacher and principal here at Good Shepherd and we will be sad to see him go. We wish him the best in the next phase of his life.

It's amazing watching the students get ready for their big Cross Country Races next week!!! Next Tuesday, right here at ÉGSS and next Thursday at St. Mary's! Good luck to all participants!!

Our school will be having our annual Terry Fox Run and Walk this Friday! We are encouraging students to bring a toonie (or any donation) for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 20th, we will be having our first School Council meeting of the year. The official meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. in the library but for our September meeting we will be hosting some informal school tours beginning at 6:30. We know that with COVID a lot of parents didn't have the opportunity to see the school, so we would like to make this opportunity available for those parents who can make it. Come for the tour... stay for the meeting!

Another school picture day went off without a hitch. Lifetouch Photography always does a great job getting everything organized and the day ran as smooth as can be. Here are a few pictures of everything taking place.
