Spring Break

Wishing everyone a safe and restful spring break!

Over the break students should research about the upcoming election in Alberta.
Students should know who are the leaders of each of the political parties and who is running for MLA in Calgary-Fort (our constituency). Students should also research the individual political parties, what are their main campaign platforms?

See everyone back in class on April 8 at 7:50am.
