BGRD No.18 Supports Ronald McDonald House

On November 14th, École Corinthia Park School staff, their children, and Central Office staff went to Ronald McDonald House and cooked dinner for the children and families staying there.  Ronald McDonald House is a compassionate, safe, and affordable home away from home for out-of-town families whose children are receiving treatment in a local Edmonton hospital.  The purpose of the house is to keep families together and provide a supportive environment while the family member is being treated for his/her illness.  Thank you, everyone, for your kindness.

BGRD No. 18 Students Remember

Thankfully, for many Canadian children war is a distant concept.  As parents and educators, we must help our children to understand that the freedom we enjoy today came at a high price and to respect our veterans and current Canadians who fight for peace and freedom throughout the world.  Mrs. Greene, music teacher at École Corinthia Park School, did just that on Sunday when she took her choir to the Edmonton International Airport Remembrance Day Ceremony to sing "O'Canada" and "In Flanders Fields".  Thank you Mrs. Greene and ÉCPS Choir.
