Our Grades 7–9 Knights athletes brought the energy to Foothills Athletic Park, competing in races, jumps, and throws while supporting one another every step of the way.

“What stood out most this year was the incredible teamwork from our students. Even though track is such an individual sport within each event, all we saw was students constantly cheering each other on, running from start lines to finish lines and supporting one another through every activity.” — Coach Adams

After months of hard work and training, we’re so excited to see many of our athletes moving on to league championships later this week. Way to go, Knights! 👏

The Celebration of Literacy is a key part of learning in our Junior School, bringing together long-standing traditions like Readers Theatre where students share their growth.
 
Students in Grades 2–4 took part in a Readers Theatre performance centred around the theme, Our Magical Earth. Families were also welcomed into the Learning Commons to explore interactive literacy stations focused on reading, writing, fluency, morphology, and ways to support literacy at home.
 
“The Celebration of Literacy is such a meaningful opportunity for students to share their voices and celebrate how far they’ve grown as readers and writers. Through Readers Theatre, students build fluency, confidence, expression, and teamwork, and it’s incredible to see their pride and engagement as they perform for an audience.” — Ms. Calder
 
It was a great opportunity to see students confidently share their learning and to celebrate the strong literacy community we are building together at Calgary Academy.
 
P.S. Have you noticed our new Little Library by the school gate? This initiative creates even more opportunities for reading. Please feel free to leave a book or take a book! This library was built by Mr. Diehl and students from design and fabrication helped install it.
 

The Knights senior soccer team secured a 2–0 win over Clear Water Academy on Monday, making the most of home field advantage. ⚽️👏
 
“What I noticed was the camaraderie and support our team had for one another. Our sidelines cheered anytime a Knights player touched the ball. It was electric,” shared Coach McConnell.
 
Coaches Kelly, Swanson and McConnell were thrilled to see what’s practiced in training come to life during the game. One goal came from a header, where a player directed the ball into the net using their head, and strong passing led to another, highlighting the team’s growing confidence and connection on the field.
