EDMONTON -

Two brand new schools in Edmonton are ready to welcome students back to in-person learning.

Two hundred students will start at Aleda Patterson Elementary in the west end on Thursday. The school will open as a K-3 in fall 2021.

Dr. Anne Anderson High School is also opening this week on Edmonton’s south site. Students in Grades 10 and 11 will be able to attend during the 2021-22 school year while Grade 12 courses will be offered the year after.

Both school principals said the focus this year will be on bringing students back safely.

“Schools are places of hope,” said Lisa Wright, principal for Dr. Anne Anderson. “What we’re really excited about is bringing kids into a school.

“They want to be in school,” Wright added. “There are many opportunities that await them in there and we’re just really excited about where we’re going to go as a team, alongside of our students.”

There may be less chocolate at the door this Halloween

If you're heading out trick or treating this Halloween, you may end up with more chips, gummies, licorice and other goodies rather than chocolate. Cocoa prices have spiked, and that could be playing a trick with what your kids come home with and what you give out on Halloween night.
