Sports Day

Beach Party at Westgate!

Our annual sports day this year will take place on Thursday, June 25th, 2015 for Kindergarten to Grade Four classes. Our theme this year will be a “Beach Party”. The students are asked to wear comfortable clothing to school on June 25th as they will be partaking in many sports related activities. They can wear sunglasses, hats, flip-flops and other beach themed items. There are a few activities involving water, however, the students will NOT be getting wet, so we ask that they not wear their bathing suits. We will need volunteers to help set up, run and take down the stations from 8:15 - 11:15 a.m. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have a current police clearance and are able to help out.

Thank you,
Sports Day Committee

Bike to School Day

Bike to School Day was a huge success!

Tuesday was Bike To School Day at Westgate! We had approximately 215 riders overall at Westgate (maybe even 225 or more), including 101 Westgate students who were registered. Pretty amazing results for a first year effort!

A huge thank you to all of the parent volunteers for your help at the various "stops" for bike-to-school day. Thank you for leading the groups along the route, running the schedule like a Swiss train and helping to ensure a safe and fun ride. A special thank you to Sra Arantxa, Srta Usoa, Susannah Thomsen and Ketty Hoyem for their work organizing the event!

Pedal Power! 

Bike to School Update: FAQs

Tuesday, June 2nd is Bike to School Day in Calgary. Biking to school with your children is a fun way to get exercise together, lessen your environmental impact and, most of all, have fun! A number of Westgate families and teachers have organized three bike routes to Westgate School for the morning of June 2, enabling families an easy and fun way to be part of this event and ride together along with their friends and neighbours. They have also connected with the larger Calgary bike-to-school campaign which is offering a draw for 80 prizes from Bowcycle, BikeBike and other area businesses. To learn more about how you and your child can participate in Bike to School Day at Westgate, please visit https://biketoschool.eventbrite.ca. The city-wide organizers are hoping that 10,000 riders across the city will participate this year and we hope that many Westgate students and their parents will be among them!
