“Today I spent time with the Chief Superintendent Naomi Johnson. She made me feel very special”. Grade 3 Douglasdale Student
“Having students in our building is truly special. It reminds all of us why we do the work we do. Students are at the core of everything that happens at the Calgary Board of Education. I love that they are so inquisitive and authentic. The opportunity to attend a Campus Calgary program for many of our students gives them the opportunity to see things beyond the classroom and gain a greater understanding in how a school board operates….visiting with the students is one of the highlights I experienced as a Trustee”. Joy Bowen-EyreTrustee Wards 1 & 2
Community Experts The community of Connaught welcomed 2School and worked with teachers to bring their “Big Idea/Inquiry Question” alive.

“My son was excited about 2School from the first moment he found out about it and enjoyed every minute. We had updates every evening on what he saw and learned. He gave detailed information about the water filtration system. I forget what he called the device to kill the germs. Unfortunately I didn’t retain the knowledge as well as he did!” • Royal Oak Parent
“What I particularly enjoyed was the history aspect, relating history to locations downtown. It was great to show kids how to find their way around downtown, using maps and street signs. It was a great program!!!” • Hawkwood Parent
“School is so different today from when I was in school. It is amazing to watch how comfortable children are with technology”. • Willow Park Parent
This was the best part of Grade 2. I can’t wait to tell my mom and dad everything that we had done. I am going to get them to drive by Dr. Carl Safran Centre!” Grade 2 Royal Oak Student
