Good afternoon A.E. Cross families! We hope that you are having a wonderful weekend! ¡Buenas tardes, familias de A.E. Cross! ¡Esperamos que estén pasando un fin de semana maravilloso!

Last week was one for celebration at A.E. Cross! There were numerous events that reaffirmed for me that we have such an amazing learning community here at school:

  • Spanish Language Film Festival at Crescent Heights – we had many entries into the festival this year and our Grade 7 and Grade 9 entries won Fan’s Favorite Film at the festival and one of our Grade 8 entries won Best Movie! Congratulations to everybody for their creations! ¡Felicidades a todos por sus creaciones!
  • On Thursday, the Calgary Board of Education CTF (Career and Technology Foundations) Spring Showcase occurred at the Education Center downtown. A.E. Cross student work from Construction, Fashion Studies, Comm Tech and Design Studies was front and center at the showcase. Thank you to all of the students for their contributions and all of the teachers at A.E. Cross who teach CTF courses for allowing student creativity to shine through. Please check out our Instagram feed for some photos of the event.
  • Our grade 9 Spanish Bilingual students celebrated their completion of 9 years within the program on Wednesday morning in the Learning Commons. Thank you to all of the parents who attended the event and for their support of Language learning within the Calgary Board of Education.
  • Finally, our entire Grade 9 population celebrated their time at A.E. Cross on Friday evening by walking down the “Red Carpet”. What an amazing event! Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who came out to help out with the organization and execution of the event. A particular thank you to the Parent Chair of the Grade 9 Farewell Committee, Joanna Anagnostakos-Glynn for all of her work to make the evening memorable for the students!

We are looking forward to all of our students finishing the year off on their best foot. We appreciate all of your support throughout the school year!
