form of flattery.” We must admit,
we’re a little flattered by what two Calgary Grade 8 students got up to.

Calgary Zoo staff took special steps to make the
penguins at the new Penguin Plunge exhibit feel right at home.

another way when they hit their school year, pulling together to take on a tough
opponent.
Afghan Guitar – May 1st

Horse Club – July 27th
There are a lot of smiling faces at the Laughing Horse Ranch.
Trojan Family – September 12th
While the big leaguers bicker, there’s one Calgary rink where the action’s definitely going on as scheduled this fall. At SAIT, the season’s bringing a veteran coach something he’s never seen before.
Lizard Kisser – October 15th

Some local high school kids are stirring up some musical excitement. They’re hoping it’ll lead to a big payoff in a Canada-wide competition.
Art Elf – December 3rd
Getting a cuddly new friend sure gives a nice boost to a child going through a tough time. And one young Calgarian is making a big difference this Christmas for a lot of local families, with some art from the heart.
