The Grade Fours were busy planting our Earth Boxes for our school's outdoor garden. Thanks a million to the Grandmas and Moms that came to lend their expertise and "green thumbs".
Ringette is coming to Sports Academy! Sign up Now!
New 2010-2011 Ringette Program for the Greater St. Albert Sports Academy
Beginning September 2010, the Greater St. Albert Sports Academy is expanding to include ringette to their sports program.
The Program:
This program offers sports like you have never had before! Sports Academy students will not only receive specialized skill and fitness training in hockey, soccer or ringette, they will also have the benefit of an enhanced physical education program.
Students will encounter physical workouts on and off the ice/field and will receive professional instruction within an environment suitable for their overall development as a player. This environment will be both relaxed and disciplined allowing the athlete to embrace all activities with an understanding of what is expected from them.
The 2010-2011 ringette program has a minimum enrollment of 20 students. We are expecting to meet or exceed the registration target and early registration is encouraged.
Benefits of Adding a Ringette Program:
Expanding the program to include ringette will offer specialized ringette training for girls that love the game. Ringette is a very popular game and enrollment in ringette associations is growing every year. Now the girls will get to enhance their playing experience by focusing on their skills throughout the school year.
In addition, the students and staff will benefit by balancing out the male/female student ratios within the classrooms.
Eligibility for the Ringette Program:
Any girl in Grades 4-9 who:
Has a passion, desire and a true love for ringette
Works to their academic potential
Is disciplined, dedicated, and committed to improvement
Can work independently
Participating Schools in the Greater St. Albert Sports Academy:
Albert Lacombe Catholic Elementary School – Grades 4-6

This summer the school and community joined forces to build a spectacular new playground! We would like to thank all those involved, especially the dedicated parents who have worked tirelessy over the past five years to make this dream a reality.
The new year was ushered in with the celebration of EPIPHANY. Each class received special visitors, who arrived carrying gold, smoking frankincense and myrrh. The sprinkling of holy water symbolically states that we believe Christ's spirit permeates all that we do at Albert Lacombe School.
