Royal Oak School Stampede Pancake Breakfast!
We are excited to announce that the Calgary Stampede Downtown Attractions Breakfast Committee will be hosting a free Stampede Pancake Breakfast for our entire school community and their families on Friday, May 24, 2019. This event will begin at 7:00 a.m. rain or shine and will run until approximately 9:00 a.m. Families are encouraged to come early to enjoy this free yummy event.
This year we are excited to partner with William D. Pratt Middle School and will be bringing the communities together on the basketball courts and the Pratt soccer fields. Families are invited to bring a blanket or camping chair to sit on as they enjoy a breakfast picnic on the basketball courts and the adjacent Pratt fields. In the event of rain families will be invited inside the gym at W.D. Pratt School.
There will be no teacher supervision provided at the Stampede Pancake Breakfast, so families are responsible for the supervision of their children for the entirety of the event. Our teachers will resume their regular supervision on the school grounds at 8:55am and our regular school bell will ring for student entry at 9:10 am.
All families are encouraged to wear their best western attire to show their Stampede spirit!

Running Club!
For the month of May, we are pleased to offer our students the opportunity to take part in our Running Club. This club will take place before school and will run on a drop-in basis. No registration required, just show up on the days that you can and run with us. Running Club will meet on the field behind the school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:45-9:05am beginning Thursday May 2nd. We will run for approximately 15 minutes and then stretch. Students will be dismissed from the field at 9:05am to head down to the compound where their class meets for entry. We look forward to seeing you out on the field with us!
