Doughnuts with a Grown-up

On May 5, 2026, families gathered at North Canoe Elementary School for a special morning event organized by school staff and the PAC. The event was designed to give families an opportunity to begin the school day together in a warm and welcoming environment, while celebrating student learning and community connection.

Families were invited to arrive before the morning bell to enjoy doughnuts from Askews Foods, along with coffee and tea, while spending time with their children.

Student learning and projects were displayed throughout the gym, allowing students to proudly showcase their work and giving families the opportunity to explore classroom learning together.  

The morning also featured tables and seating areas for families to gather, PAC raffle baskets, student art displays, and a lost and found display. Soft lighting and music helped to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere as staff connected with families and community members.

The event supports North Canoe's School Learning Plan goal of fostering a strong sense of belonging within the school community.

Staff shared that they were pleased with the turnout and appreciated the positive feedback received from families who attended.

The school hopes events like this will continue to strengthen relationships between home and school while creating meaningful opportunities for families to connect, celebrate learning and spend time together!
