A look at the calendar or the website will show that there is no slowing down at school as we approach Spring Break. Add in the activities that don’t make the school-wide calendar and we feel we’ll be sending students home on March 22 ready for a rest. Read-a-thon We are excited to partner with the Fundraising Society in a read-a-thon. The benefits of this type of activity are that – 100% of proceeds go directly to supporting a playground – no expenses and no profits by a third party. Another benefit is that each dollar will likely be doubled through the application for matching grants from various foundations and organizations. A third benefit is that every child can participate and no amount raised is too small. Finally – even the prizes or rewards will be enjoyed by all students. Thank you for supporting this fundraiser. We kicked off the Read-a-Thon with an assembly on Friday and also celebrated the 5, 10 and 15 year CBE careers of some of our teachers. School Council Report Grade 1 Celebration
We are looking forward to our Grade 1 Celebration of Learning this week. We are also excited that several Grade 1 students will be presenting to the New Brighton Residents Association on Saturday, March 18 as part of a community engagement session. We know they’ll do great. Movie Night Doors Open at 6:00PM. There will be a Loonie Concession. It will be a great night and is a sell-out. Do not forget your tickets. Fire regulations have a gym capacity and we will be collecting tickets at the door. We’ll be sitting picnic style so bring a blanket and a pillow. Chairs will be available for people with mobility issues but will need to be at the edges or back for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Conferences Student-Involved Conference booking has begun.
