What a smashing success this event was! Huge thanks to the Stampede folks for all their efforts in hosting these events and for bringing communities together. Thanks also to all the volunteers who made this possible. Thanks to our partners at Pratt for all the tables, chairs and volunteers from the school -So much fun!
SCHOOL COUNCIL CORNER – EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Join us for our last ROS Fundraising Society and School Council monthly meeting of the 2023/2024 school year on MONDAY, JUNE 10 @ 6.30pm. We will:
· review this last school year
· discuss ideas to kick start the 2024/2025 school year
· and say goodbye to a couple of team members…one of whom has been at Royal Oak since it opened and has had a significant impact on our community! Come join us in wishing them well!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Pancake Breakfast on May 29. We heard that more than 1600 people were served breakfast in one hour! Thank you to the Calgary Stampede for giving us the opportunity to share this breakfast with the Royal Oak and Rocky Ridge communities! THANK YOU to the incredible team at Royal Oak Tim Hortons who endlessly support our school! And thank you to all our amazing volunteers who set up, served food/beverages, cleaned up and organized the games for ROS students on the compound to help fill the time gap – we are so thankful for this community of families!
The Royal Oak School Fundraising Society would like to extend a thank you to all those families who participated in the Spring Plant Fundraiser. May your gardens be beautiful!
