Staff collaborated to begin the process of creating a school-based continuum of supports in the focus areas of well-being, mathematics, and literacy. Humbled by the expertise and passion each staff member brings to create a safe, welcoming and caring learning community. #WeAreCBE

Calgarians are fighting to afford basic items, and we can see how drastically prices have increased over the past few years. To bring attention to this increase, we created UNAFÔRD, because poverty isn’t something that happens somewhere else to someone else. It’s happening here.
