Food Drive

The families at Elboya have once again shown their generosity toward the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank by filling 26 boxes. Thank you for your contributions.  They are truly appreciated.

Thank you again for your support.

The Grade 9 Concert Band under the direction of Mr. Irwin gave a concert of holiday music to many students on Thursday, December 17^th, 2015. All in attendance enjoyed it greatly.

Drama

Drama 9 students presented Seasonal Presentations to 100 of our grade 2 and 3 students on Thursday! The Children's Theatre Unit focused on creating scenes geared towards our Elementary student audience and consisted of "The Grinch That Stole Christmas", “The Ginger Bread Man" and "Aliens vs. Santa Claus". The Grade 9's did a great job of entertaining our younger students and some Holiday cheer was enjoyed by all! Merry Ho Ho Ho!

On Friday, December 18, 2015 the school enjoyed singing French songs during period 6.
