"WHO DO YOU TELL?" GRADES K - 6 PARENT IN-SERVICE EVENING:
We are thrilled to share the news that our school has been approved again for a special safety program called “Who Do You Tell?” through the Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse. The “Who Do You Tell?” program aims to teach children how to set healthy boundaries and to help shape attitudes and actions around sexual abuse and sexual assault. As part of the process in delivering the program we are inviting all parents (Kindergarten to Grade 6) to attend a Parent In-Service. This will provide you with information regarding the program and child sexual abuse. Opportunity to ask any questions and address any concerns about the program are welcome. The Parent In-Service will be held at CWAA on Tuesday, February 5 from 7-9 p.m. Please mark your calendar &
plan on attending!

ALBERTA EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY PILLAR SURVEY:
It‘s that time of year where Alberta Education is seeking your input about the education we are delivering at CWAA! From January to the end of February, Alberta Education will be conducting its annual “Accountability Pillar Survey”. The Accountability Pillar Survey assesses various aspects of quality; student outcomes, provincial assessments of student learning, community engagement and satisfaction, school experience, etc. Within the next few weeks, all CWAA parents will receive a survey from Alberta Education in the mail. In February, CWAA students and all teachers will be completing their surveys online at school. All surveys are anonymous. In addition to English and French, the parent survey is available in Chinese, Punjabi, Arabic, Blackfoot, Cree, Korean, Spanish and
Tagalog. Your participation in the survey helps provide important information on the quality of education your child is receiving at CWAA, so we encourage you to return your survey promptly. Thank you for your participation in this important process!

JESUS – THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6
When we were kids my parents took my brother and I to Portugal for what was an amazing summer vacation. We travelled all throughout the country by car and I clearly remember travelling one section of road and my mom saying, “Tony just stop and ask for directions.” Well dad didn‘t, stating that he could see the sun and that was good enough. After hearing dad‘s comment we drove past a sign with the posted distance to a certain city we would pass on route.
Well over the next hour my mom persistently asked him to stop and get directions, and he continued to say to my mom, it‘s ok I am watching the sun, we are heading the right direction. Well after an hour of
driving we saw another sign posting distance to that one city and wouldn‘t you know it, after driving for 1 full hour, we had actually driven a total of 7 km‘s. LOL. You can be sure my dad stopped then.
How many times in life have we been stubborn like my dad – and simply stopped to ask for directions? We try to depend on our own ability only to realize sooner or later that we are lost, uncertain of where to turn and what decision to make.
Although things have really changed from those paper maps to GPS devices, when it comes to our spiritual life, one thing remains the same, we will NEVER RELY on our own merits to reach Heaven. We need a map and a guide. In fact the only way we can get there is by downloading the Map into our heart. That map is Jesus who told His disciples just hours before his death that He is the way the
truth and the life.
In this life in which we live, there are really only two roads to travel, one is simple - just follow the crowd, the other requires heart surrender to Jesus, asking Him to be our Guide, Saviour, Redeemer and Map. Let us daily stop our cars, our minds, and ask Him to be our Map, Our Guide and Saviour.
God bless you all.
Paul Antunes
