Dear Parents & Guardians,

We hope you have an enjoyable spring break. Here is some information to support you and your family.

Community Health

The Community Health Promotion Services team with Recovery Alberta is offering two more series addressing important issues affecting youth today.

  • The next session covers the rising concern of vaping among youth, providing insights into devices, substances, and strategies for effective conversations.
  • The final session explores the impact of screen time, social media, and video gaming on youth mental health and well-being, offering practical tips for fostering healthy digital habits.

Please see the various sessions available.

Student Services Update

While Spring Break is a welcome time for many, it can be a source of uncertainty for others. As students are taking a break from their regular routines and support teams, we want to pass along some resources that students and families can access for support.

Wrestling Update

Congratulations to Vaughn R, Riley L and Katrina V, who represented Scarlett at the ASAA Wrestling Provincial Championships, last weekend. All three demonstrated amazing determination, grit and heart. 

Vaughn had his best tournament this season, earning tremendous respect of his coaches, teammates and opponents for his hard work, vast improvement and sportsmanship. Riley wrestled in one of the most fast-paced and agile weight classes. Rising to the challenge and level of competition, he secured a top-six finish. These two grade 10 athletes have a very bright future ahead in this sport. 

Katrina impressed with a well-earned fourth-place finish, holding her own against two former national champions in her weight class. She is a fierce competitor and proved that it’s never too late to take up a new sport in grade 12. 

Over the past four months, we have been incredibly proud of the commitment, growth and character from our wrestlers. Thanks to our coaches Helen Domstad and Michelle McRorie for your support of our students! Well Done!
