It's almost time for our annual Remembrance Day Ceremony here at Rundle Academy. This is our opportunity to show respect to those who have fought to keep Canada a free country. Our hard working team of teachers are set to put on a wonderful service and we would like to extend an invitation to any parent who would like to join us. Our service will take place on November 8th at 10:30 A.M. and if you are planning on attending, please let Mr. Brad Mellor (mellor@rundle.ab.ca) know so we can be sure to accommodate people with enough seating. Professional Development Day Rundle College teachers will be taking part in a system wide Professional Development Day on November 9th. There will be no school for students on that day.
tion, please call the Rundle College Society Office at 403-291-3866. CREB Grant We would like to thank Gary Cronin and Donna Rooney for nominating our school for the CREB $25,000 for 25 Grant. In addition, we would not have been able to secure the grant without the support of all the parents and real estate agents who voted for us. As a result of our communities’ combined efforts, we came in first place and in the spring will be able to do some significant upgrades behind our elementary school. Calgary Herald's Reader's Choice Gold Medal In the Friday, October 26th edition of the Calgary Herald, Rundle Academy was awarded the distinction of the Gold Medal for Charter/Private Schools. We would like to thank all the people who voted for us. Our community is so excited to have received this honour!
