If you are still needing to have photo retakes, there are two dates available: November 13 and 21. To book, please follow the link and select Studio Calgary from the Book Session options.
Mountain of Warmth Clothing Drive
Our school continues to support James Short Memorial School with many initiatives, including donations of clothing. We are in direct contact with the school and so the request for clothing is specifically needs-driven. This is not a call for general donations.
Families are in specific need of winter clothing. There is a particular need for the following items:
NEW OR GENTLY USED (clean, zippers working, buttons attached):
Girls and boys (size 4-12)
· Underwear – brand new in packaging only please
· pants and sweat pants
· shirts
· winter gloves
· winter jackets/snow pants
Before you drop your items at our school office, please:
- sort by gender (where applicable) and size
- bag/box and
- label each bag/box e.g. Girl age 8
