Hello Prince of Wales Families,

I hope you all had a restful long weekend. Happy Vaisakhi to those of you who celebrate - wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous Vaisakhi! May your year be filled with success.

We have a busy couple of weeks ahead with our Hip Hop Dance Residency with SoundKreations. This opportunity was made possible by parent fundraising and Casino funds. We will begin our dance lessons mid-April and have a performance during the day and evening on April 23. Information on how to get tickets will be sent out in a separate message.

Casino 2026 - Volunteers Needed

We are excited to announce our biggest fundraiser of the year! This fundraiser raises nearly $80,000 for our school. Funds go towards items students use every day such as paper, iPads, Chromebooks, and art supplies, as well as bringing residencies and special experiences to our students. We wouldn't have fun events like FitSet Ninja or SoundKreations without Casino.

  • May 31 and June 1 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino
  • Many different shift types and times available - all easy and guided by casino staff
  • No police clearance or previous experience required
  • Each volunteer is eligible to receive a $100 credit towards an AGLC accredited group - most sports teams and extracurricular groups have one!

Each volunteer shift raises $2,000 for our school. If you were waiting for the opportunity to make a huge impact, this is it! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B45A9A922A2F8C34-60285220-prince
