March 1, 2026
Hello Linsford Families,
We had such a fun and busy week! Between the winter olympics and pink shirt day, where we kicked off our RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) campaign, it was week filled with extras!
Our Grade 4-6 students completed their Alberta Education Assurance survey this past week and the parent survey with the unique code for each Grade 4-6 family is still on it's way. Due to technical difficulties, we were unsuccessful in getting it to send. If this error can't be fixed asap, a paper copy with a unique QR code will be sent to the Grade 4-6 families at the beginning of this week. Apologies for the delay!
Our student led conferences are next week on March 11, so please ensure you save the date! Our Book Fair is also planned for this time period as well.
Have a wonderful week!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles

PINK SHIRT DAY
Pink shirt day was a great way to kick off our RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) campaign.

Mrs. K would like to send out a huge shout out of THANKS to some wonderful students who cut out hearts for the RAK program during many recesses this week!

In general, teams will practice after school on Monday (unless there is no school, in which case they will practice on Wednesdays for those weeks). All other practices are at lunch recess throughout the week.
**Currently, only the grade 3/4 teams will have after school practices as their tournaments are first. The grade 5/6 girls will start after school practices after the grade 3/4 girls are done and the grade 5/6 boys will start after school practices the week before spring break.
