Food Bank Donations
Our Firebird communities are having a friendly competition! If you are able to donate non-perishable food items for the food bank, we are collecting on behalf of the Calgary Food Bank. The Firebird community that brings in the most food will have a chance to pick the theme of one of our spirit days before winter break and will get a prime seat for the final Phoenix Cup event of 2024. Please note: we are accepting donations until December 18th. Thank you for your consideration and generosity!
Staff Appreciation Potluck
Thank you so much to the MANY families who cooked, baked, and gifted food to show appreciation to our amazing SJF staff!! What a feast!! And a special thank you to Sonya McGrath for decorating and setting up our staffroom into a winter wonderland! Our cups runneth over!!
