Congratulations to all our intermediate cross country runners who participated in the district cross country race yesterday. We wish all of our participating primary students all the best as they run this afternoon.
Kind Mind Program
Last week we wrapped up our school wide month program Kind Mind by the Kelty Foundation. In celebration of our participation in the program we hosted 2 Confi-dances, one primary and one intermediate. A great time was had by all!
In completion of this fabulous FREE program, the foundation has requested that we pass on the following message to our families:
Thank you for taking part in the Kind Mind Program! We hope you had a wonderful month of
kindness and that the challenges inspired meaningful conversations in your homes and classrooms.
The Kind Mind Program, an initiative of The Kelty Foundation, is designed to provide students,
educators, and families with tools and resources to build resilience, support mental well-being, and
create meaningful connections. This program is made possible through the generosity of our donors
—and with your continued support, we can reach even more schools in British Columbia and across
the country.
To help us keep the momentum going, here are three simple ways you can make a difference:
1. Share Your Feedback: Your insights help us grow and improve the program each year. Please
take a few minutes to complete our short feedback form here: https://www.thekeltyfoundation.org/kind-mind-feedback
2. Record or Write a Testimonial: We’d love to hear what Kind Mind meant to you and your
students! Whether in video or written form, your stories help inspire others and attract new
donors to support our mission to reach as many schools and families as possible.
3.Support Kind Mind in Your Community: The Kind Mind Program is 100% donor-funded, and
every contribution helps us continue reaching more schools. If your school enjoyed the program,
please consider sharing our website or hosting a small fundraiser to help keep Kind Mind growing.

Thank you for being part of this journey — together, we’re spreading kindness and supporting mental
well-being, one school, one student, and one family at a time.

2026/2027 Albion School Calendar
The school calendar for the 2026/2027 school year has been posted on our school website under the Calendar tab.
Class Placements- Final Reminder
We are beginning to create our classes for next year. Please be assured that staff devote considerable time, care, and attention to this process. This very complex and lengthy responsibility occurs over several weeks and continues into September when class placements are finalized. Throughout the year, there have been many opportunities for parents and teachers to discuss each child. Staff work together to consider the following criteria very carefully: social emotional skills and relationships, as well as learning styles, strengths, and needs. Our goal is to create safe and engaging inclusive classrooms that balance these factors, as equitably as possible. If you feel there is further information to consider about your child, you may submit input to Mrs. Dailey in writing by Friday, May 22. Please refrain from requesting specific teachers or peers by name as these submissions will not be reviewed.
