Students had a great experience learning to Inline Skate through the instruction of Alien Inline Skating. Students showed lots of Grit to persevere to learn a challenging new skill. Lots of fun and new learning was had by all. We also completed our Terry Fox Run that was postponed because of weather. Our school raised over $1800 to support cancer research. Way to go Grant MacEwan. 

Important Dates
