Every year students at Alberta Conference schools get to enjoy a few days of learning in the beautiful classroom of the natural world. Outdoor School is again being held at Foothills Camp from May 27 to 30.

Students will learn according to the regular curriculum, but through activities specifically designed to be hands-on, experiential, and taking full advantage of the natural environment. They will also take part in activities that will help them make new friends, bond with current friends, and strengthen their relationship with God.

In order to attend, please fill out the consent/acknowledgment of risk form below. You can also download the handbook to see the packing list, and other preparations you need to make before heading to Outdoor School. (You don’t need to print it – a copy will be provided for you when you arrive).

On Tuesday, we had over 50 students and staff participate in the Butterfly Effect program presented by COME2LIFE – an organization dedicated to helping young people engage in conversation about emotional health so they can find help, hope, and healing. Pastor Brad Dahr and Susan (one of our students) led us through the session.

We were really blessed by their presentation, and were all reminded that we all have experienced negative emotions in our lives, such as rejection and loneliness, failure, trauma and loss, and shame. But we are not alone – others have also had the same experiences – and help is available. We learned some ways to help ourselves get through negative experiences, and COME2LIFE is also there to help – they would love for you to reach out if you need to talk to someone confidentially. Click the image below to visit their website, and learn more about them.

We are pleased to announce that in the fall of 2019, Mina Desjardins will be our vice-principal. We appreciate her dedication to our students and look forward to her leadership. She will be replacing Chris Dubyna, who has accepted the position of Principal at College Heights Christian School in Lacombe. We have appreciated Mr. Dubyna’s leadership and service to PACeS and we wish him the best in his new adventure!

Recently the #trashtag challenge has been sweeping the internet.

As God created us to be stewards of our planet, we’d like to challenge PACeS students to take on the stewardship or #trashtag challenge.

On Tuesday April 30th, we are having a special program that begins during Flex Time.

This program is led by Pastor Brad Dahr and his team. If you have a cell phone or iPad please bring it to participate in the program, this is an optional part of the participation.
Please plan to attend this important session.

The Butterfly Effect is an interactive, educational workshop designed to help you experience positive emotional wellness. During the workshop, you will discover you are not alone while you gain emotional and relational tools to better handle life’s chaos and stress.

The March edition of the Albert Adventist News features an article about PACeS and our assembly program this year. Hanging out with different parts of our school family has been really awesome! Check the calendar for the next assembly date.

Here is the article – check the AAN website for the digital version (coming soon).

In assembly this past Wednesday (February 27) the grades 2, 8 and 12 students shared about the people who were their heroes and the characteristics that made them heroes. While we were listening to each other, we wrote down the words we heard (or shared) in a document, which generated the word cloud below. Thanks for participating, and sharing about your heroes!
