March 20-24 Winter has finally turned to Spring which is cause to celebrate and fitting for the work at New Brighton School last week and this week. As we turn to thinking about Spring Break we would like to share some recent and upcoming celebrations with you. On behalf of all the parents, students and guests who attended Movie Night we would like to thank your School Council for organizing this great event. The gym was full and the kids had a blast. Thank you to the parents who organized and ran a great movie night and concession. An event like this is only possible with great parents who organize and volunteer. We would like to celebrate the work of our Grade 1 students. Their Celebration of Learning was full of energy and their work as Urban Planners was amazing. Who knew that “Footloose” was such an intergenerational tune? I was fortunate to get to attend the New Brighton Resident Engagement Symposium and listen to a group of our Grade 1 students share their proposals about “What is the next best thing for New Brighton,” with a group of residents and community decision makers. Thanks to our Grade 1 team for supporting their students on Saturday. I wouldn’t be surprised if what our Grade 1 students thought was best next is what the community chooses too. We’d like to celebrate the enthusiasm of our students towards the Read-A-Thon. There is lots of talk going on about the playground and students are appreciating the opportunity to be a part of the process. Keep collecting pledges and keep reading over Spring Break. In advance we would like to thank parents and students for clearing out the Lost and Found by Friday. Although the donation of clothes is always appreciated by a local organization our first hope is to get the wide variety of items to the original owner. The most important celebration this week will be your attendance at Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday this week. If you haven’t booked a conference there is still time. Teachers will share student growth since the last report card and share their plans for your child over the next three months of school. Conferences are booked using the MY CBE ACCOUNT link on the school home page. We hope to see everyone there.
