Ernest Manning Weekly Rundown
May. 20 - May. 23
Greetings Griffin Families,
Though we have started and will continue many important celebrations before June 26, we still have 17 days of regular classes for the kiddos to stay focused (or get focused😊) and finish in the best position to start up next year. But not to worry, there are many support people behind them, from classroom teachers, coaches, student advisors to their favourite AP and yes, Mr. Wilson too! We are all here for our students to see them to a strong finish, whatever that looks like for each of them.
As a complement to all of the detailed information available on the Ernest Manning High School website, here is this week’s rundown.

PARENT COUNCIL CORNER
EMHS Casino Fundraiser – Save the date!
Charitable Gaming through the AGLC allows community groups to raise much needed funds by having members work casino shifts over a designated 2-day period. Thanks to the dedication of our Parent Council, EMHS has been granted a Casino Fundraiser for the upcoming school year. The EMHS casino dates will be Oct 24 and 25 2025 at Cowboys Casino. In order to confirm our commitment, we are required to forward volunteer information before the end of this school year.
Parent Council needs to fill various shifts (chip runner, count room, etc. ) plus the casino chair position. If you can be available to work one shift (you get fed!!) to support this worthwhile endeavour, please email chair@emhscouncil.com to sign up or to ask any follow up questions.
