Percy Pegler School

🌱✨ Exciting News for Our School Community! ✨🌱

We are incredibly grateful to have received a $20,000 grant from the Okotoks Optimist Club Club of Alberta to support the development of our school community garden!

This generous investment will continue to help create a vibrant outdoor learning space where students can connect with nature, learn about sustainability, and grow together as a community.

A special thank you to parent Tanya Roberts for her support and advocacy of this initiative. We would also like to recognize Mrs. Whaley and the Percy Pegler Garden Club for spearheading this project and turning a vision into reality. Their dedication, passion, and hard work have made this opportunity possible.

We can’t wait to see our garden grow and flourish for years to come! 🌻🌿🍅

We celebrated one of our absolute rockstars 💚
Congratulations to Amanda MacKay, recipient of FSD’s Excellence in Supporting Student Success award!
Amanda lifts our Panthers every single day with her patience, creativity, and unwavering care. We are so proud — and so lucky — to have her at EPPS. Way to shine, Mrs. MacKay! 🐾✨

🌱 Our students have been hard at work planting, growing, and exploring our new outdoor learning space! 🌼🌿
We’d love for you to join them! Stop by after school on Tuesday from 3:00–4:30 PM to lend a hand, see what’s growing, and help us continue building this exciting space together.
If you have any donations of mulch or compost, please let us know—we would appreciate your support!
We look forward to seeing you there! 🌻🌞

Today we celebrated a remarkable milestone at École Percy Pegler 💚 Mme Belliveau is marking 25 years of teaching French Immersion with Foothills School Division! Colleagues and families surprised her with a beautiful card and thoughtful gifts — a small way to honour the joy, dedication, and connection she brings to our school every day.

Merci, Mme Belliveau, for inspiring generations of Panthers 🐾

📚✨ Library Adventure! ✨📚
Mrs. MacNeil’s Grade 2/3 class had a wonderful opportunity to visit the today! Students enjoyed a guided tour, learned how the library is organized, explored the different sections, and discovered all the amazing resources available to our community.
A big thank you to the library staff for sharing their knowledge and helping our young readers develop a love of books and learning! 📖💚

Our learning garden is happening!!

Student and parent volunteers are hard at work all day today — planting, digging, building, and bringing this beautiful space to life for our little Panthers. 💚🐾

If you’re available, come join us — even for an hour. Every pair of hands makes a difference, and the excitement is growing right along with our garden! 🌱✨

What an amazing spot for our Grade 2s to have lunch!

Surrounded by towering evergreens, fresh air, and laughter — the perfect classroom beyond the walls. 🌲💚🐾

We are proud of how confidently our Panthers participated in today’s lockdown drill. With support from the Okotoks RCMP, students demonstrated calm, quiet focus, and a strong understanding of expectations.

At EPPS, safety drills are practiced in a reassuring, trauma‑informed way to help students feel secure and prepared. We are grateful to our staff, students, and community partners for their commitment to maintaining a safe and caring school environment. 💚🐾
