We had approximately 50% of our senior athletes place high enough to put their names on the list to be potentially called up to train with or be a part of the Calgary area team. Congratulations! Our next tournament is Jan. 19thand 20th at Tom Baines School. #WeareCBe

Last Friday and Saturday, the Wrestling team had their 2nd tournament of the year at Peter Lougheed School. Our senior girls’ and novice girls’ placed 3rd as teams and our novice boys placed 2nd. An important note about this tournament was that it was the AB Winter Games Trials.

Constance Brissenden , author, came to Branton to talk about her books to all our students. yabs.ab.ca/artists/consta… She co-wrote with Larry Loyie and a book you may be familiar with is As long as the River flows. #WeareCBE Thanks to @YABStweet

Calgary’s weather can include snow, cold temperatures and wind chill and that make getting to and from school challenging. Families are reminded to prepare and take extra caution during the winter months and periods of extreme weather. cbe.ab.ca/news-centre/Pa…
