Winter Concert 

What an amazing show! Thank you to all of our families and students who were able to attend the Winter Concert. With standing room only, our students showcased their musical and performance talents! Gratitude to all our staff who work as a team to prepare the students so they felt confident and capable.  

For those of you with students at Banting and Best School and Sherwood School, we would like your feedback. Was it helpful to have both shows on the same night? If you would like to provide feedback on how this worked for your family, please email me at kadurnford@cbe.ab.ca.
