Marshall Springs Casino Volunteers NEEDED! November 1-2, 2026

Marshall Springs Enrichment Council (MSEC) has secured our next casino fundraiser!

Sunday, November 1 & Monday, November 2, 2026
Deerfoot Inn & Casino | 11500 35 St SE, Calgary

We need volunteers! No experience is necessary and training is provided. Come meet other Marshall Springs parents and grandparents while supporting our school.

A complimentary meal is provided for eligible shifts during restaurant operating hours. Every ~18 months, MSEC hosts a casino that raises around $70,000 for Marshall Springs School. These funds help support field trips, residencies and enrichment programs, educational equipment and resources, sports uniforms, and other approved items.   Just one volunteer shift helps us raise significant funding for our school!

Funding Update - Addition of Second Classroom Complexity Team (CCT)

We learned early this week that MSS is receiving additional funding from the CBE and Alberta Education to add a second CCT team for the 26-27 school year. This second team will consist of one (1) full time teacher and one (1) full time education assistant. Our plan is to have these position filled and ready to start support students and staff the week of October 5, 2026.

Once the additions and/or changes to staff have been made, an update will be sent to families via email.

Healthy Hunger Returns to MSS!

We are happy to announce that healthy hunger Fridays (and one of Thursday) has returned for the 26-27 school year. Healthy hunger choices and ordering information have been uploaded to the school calendar on our website. This is a great way to provide a snack for your child on Fridays and also support the school as a portion of proceeds directly comes back to us.

MSS Terry Fox Run & Fundraising | #TerryFoxSchoolRun

This year, our school is proudly taking part in the annual Terry Fox School Run to continue Terry's dream of a world without cancer.  Despite the challenges that Terry faced, he never quit in his effort to help others suffering from cancer, no matter what. For this year's Terry Fox School Run, we are going to try our very best, no matter what, just like Terry did. Please support our school's fundraising efforts today! Marshall Springs' support of this event  will include:

  • A whole school Terry Fox run on Monday, September 28th.
  • Homeroom fundraising “Toonie for Terry.”
  • A homeroom challenge Terry Fox Run in Physical Education on Sept. 11th.
  • A “Tickets for Terry” fundraiser at lunch on September 23rd and 24th. Students can bring Toonies or non-perishable food donations to the Tickets for Terry table at lunch. 

In the spirit of encouraging our ability to raise funds to support the Terry Fox Foundation, homerooms will compete against each other in combining their PE run homeroom km totals and total HR funds raised. 

Donations will be collected on Monday, September 28th before the run. Alternatively, the safest and easiest way to fundraise is to donate online to individual homerooms through our school page, located here: https://schools.terryfox.ca/137774. Donations made online of over $20.00 receive a donation tax receipt.  Links to each homeroom's individual fundraising page are posted in the student's HPE or PE&W Google Classroom.

If your student would like a shirt, they may be purchased through the Terry Fox online store https://shop.terryfox.org/  and the Calgary Terry Fox Run at Fort Calgary - details at run.terryfox.ca/92903
