‪May your holidays sparkle with peace, love, laughter, health, prosperity and joy - warmest wishes to you all from everyone at Calgary Academy! #SeasonsGreetings #HappyHolidays ‬

It’s a Calgary Academy #holidaytradition to eat pancake breakfast before the break! 🥞 Community spirit, joy and laughter shared over a delicious breakfast!

‪Last day before winter break kicks off with our #REACH celebration! Grade 5 #students brightened spirits with festive songs and amazing prizes were handed out students in Grades 2-12 & staff members too! Here’s just a few shining moments as we wrap up 2017! #WeAreCalgaryAcademy ‬

School spirit is in full swing at CA today! Real live #elfontheshelf in the lunchroom!!!! #happyholidays

While we are celebrating our last day of the school year, there’s always time to help others! Grade 10s made 240 sandwiches for the Mustard Seed this morning! #CAhasHeart #altruism

At this point, we’re #skating into winter holidays! • Grade 5s had a great day at the rink in #PhysEd last week! #christmascountdown

Our Jr High basketball teams have had a great start to their season!! #superbench #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #KnightsAthletics

Why do we offer such a dynamic #physicaleducation program? “The implementation of quality PE programs in schools should emphasize fun and help students to develop knowledge, positive attitudes, motor and behavioural skills, and the personal confidence and competence needed to adopt and maintain a physically active lifestyle.” • Canadian Pediatric Society https://www.cps.ca/en/documents/position/physical-activity-guidelines • #WeAreCalgaryAcademy #elementaryschool #iceskating #canadiankids #befitforlife

While there may have been some #physics lessons to be learned, Grade 6 students focused on #gettingactive and having #fun today with Olympic speed skater Gilmore Junio at the Oval! We did learn he’s really fast!! #WeAreCalgaryAcademy

#highschool #students have been showcasing their knowledge while writing #exams across every subject this week. #lucknotneeded #6moredaystowinterbreak

This week Grade 7s have been applying their knowledge of #insulators #conductors and #heattransfer as they complete the Keep It Cool lab! Each student was tasked with building an ice box that can keep an ice cube frozen for at least 3 hours. #grade7 #science #statesofmatter #scienceinaction #STEM #scientificmethod

It’s pickup day! This morning #students in elementary and junior high dropped of their gifts for Closer to Home Community Services as part of our #CoolKidsCare #altruism initiative. #CAhasHeart. The truck will return for pickups from high school and staff this afternoon!
