January 24th Update

The Dalhousie Parent Society is once again working towards getting our school a new playground. With our current playground at its end of life, we have hit the ground running. Since our children will be the ones using the new structures we want to hear from them! Here is a simple survey that we would like the parents to take a few minutes to sit down with their children to fill out. Please fill out a survey for EACH student you currently have enrolled at the school. Every voice counts and the more feedback we get the easier it will be to work on a design that everyone will love for years to come. Deadline for the survey will be January 31, 2022. So please let us know what your kids think!

Want to help out – fundraising, volunteering skills and/or time? Please email dalhousie.playground@gmail.com

The first fundraiser has started:  The Dalhousie Elementary School Parent Society is hosting a 50/50 draw in support of the new playground build. Ticket packages are between $10-$100. Please like and share this worthy cause where everyone comes out a winner!

January 17th Update

Pink shirt day is quickly approaching (February 23). We have designed a new Dalhousie specific T-shirt. Any donation from this fundraiser will be donated to a Calgary Anti Bullying Organization on behalf of Dalhousie School Families. This year we will be selling T-shirts and Hoodies. The T-shirts are starting at $21 (100% Polyester) and the Hoodies are starting at $37.50 (100% Cotton). We have set up the sales to go through your Healthy Hunger account so there are no pesky forms to fill out or money/cheques to send to school. Just log onto your Healthy Hunger website to order. If you require any assistance at all, please email dalhousieschoolparentsociety@gmail.com and one of us would love to help you out. The deadline to order is January 24, 2022.

Orange T-Shirts in Support of Orange Shirt Day

We are simply trying our best to support this very important cause.  The deadline has been extended to Tuesday, September 7.   The order form can be found here.
