SCHOOL NEWS

Whenever a new school year begins, Mamawi can always count on three things: full classrooms, new field trip opportunities and exciting sporting events. The 2022-2023 school year is no different.

Elementary Students enjoying time at Kraay Family Farm.

Classrooms are indeed full this year, with our highest-ever enrollment. The Junior/Senior High School that was built five years ago is being put to good use and is currently at about 80% capacity. We had waiting lists on many grades this year and we are hoping to begin thinking about staff expansion for the 2023-2024 school year.

High School Students pensive about the next big catch.

Field trips in the last few years have been fleeting at best and we are excited to begin our normal program of getting students off campus. Our fall is always full of outdoor learning from grade 7-12 at Foothills Camp, Camp Yowochas, and a guided fishing tour of Central Alberta! Elementary school also had the chance to explore Kraay Family Farm in Lacombe County.

Finally, we are excited to be participating in sports this year with the opportunities for basketball skills training, a girls volleyball team, and several tournaments later this fall.
