Ernest Manning Weekly Rundown
Apr. 28 - May. 02
Greetings Griffin Families,
Hard to believe that this edition of the Weekly Rundown includes the word “May” but in fact we are a little over a month away from the end of regular classes. Sprint to the finish folks and a lot of great opportunities and events for students to finish strong academically, socially and in their extra-curriculars.
As the weather becomes gradually warmer, students are beginning to ride bikes to school in greater numbers. We would like to encourage everyone to keep their bikes secure. For information on bicycle safety, please consult this article from Bike Calgary, particulary regarding anti-theft locks.
As a complement to all of the detailed information available on the Ernest Manning High School website, here is this week’s rundown.

Please be advised that Ernest Manning is a polling station and therefore the traffic circle and parking areas will be very busy tomorrow with federal election voters coming and going throughout the day. We expect especially busy times before school starting at 7:30 as well as after school. Please adjust your driving/parking plans accordingly.
