SPRING CONCERT

We are excited to be presenting our first Spring Concert conducted by Mr. Cos Natola hosted in the Parish Hall.  All students are expected to attend and perform at this event.  Students are to come to the evening in full uniform.  The concert starts at 6:30pm with students meeting in the classroom at 6:15pm.  We expect this concert to last 1 hour.  It will be a great night of students sharing their musical talents.  We can’t wait to see you there!

 

EARTH DAY

We will be celebrating Earth Day this Friday, April 21st.  We are turning it into a day of discover, stewardship and learning.  We are asking families to donate cardboard boxes, rope, tubes, old tires, anything that they thing would be useful to build a fort or just for creative play.  It is only going to be as good as the items that are brought in.  We are very much looking forward to the day!

It will be a non-uniform day.  Students will be permitted to wear earth tone clothing to help celebrate the day.

 

PAVING OF THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT

As you may have noticed, the winter snow and ice has caused some significant damage to the asphalt in our play area and parking lot.  This Friday, April 21st, pavers will be fixing these damaged areas starting at 3:30pm.  It would be helpful to have as few cars as possible in the lot at that time.

 

ST. BERNADETTE PLANT SALE

This Spring we are selling beautiful, locally grown plants to help raise money for Canadian Catholic Development and Peace. Plants are a great way enjoy nature and beautify your surroundings. We encourage you to buy these plants and sell them to your friends and neighbours. Get out into the garden while choosing to support a worthwhile cause.

We hope that you will see something you like and help support our cause by placing an order below. Please note that the order and payment deadline is Friday, May 12, 2017. For more information please go to https://stbernadette.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home to visit our fundraising website.

WALKATHON FRIDAY APRIL 28TH

Our annual walkathon is just over one week away.  There are a few reminders we would like to pass along:

The signed consent forms must be returned to the school for each child to participate in the walkathon.  Children who do not bring in their forms will not be permitted to leave the school grounds.  We are excited to once again have the presence of the RCMP along for the walk!

The fundraising committee will be collecting pledges for Fr.Paul and Fr.Jimmy this weekend in the parish gathering room after all masses this weekend (April 22 and April 23).  Please consider sponsoring them as they will be walking with us this year!

The deadline to return all student pledge sheets and donations is Friday May 5th. The class that collects the most pledges will be awarded ice cream sandwiches from Dairy Queen on Friday May 19th

There are volunteer opportunities posted on OnVolunteers.  We hope you are able to come out and help set up and participate in this event!

 

MOTHER’S DAY TEA

Mother’s Day Tea will be on Thursday, May 11th from 10:00am-11:00am.  There will be our morning Mass led by the Grades 1 & 4.  Following Mass, we will gather in the parish hall for light refreshments.  Our Students will perform to entertain our guests.  Notices have been sent home so we can prepare in advance.  Please return the form back to the school at your earliest convenience.

If any Dad’s would like to volunteer for that morning with setting up, preparing & clean-up, please contact Mrs. Fraser, grade2@stbernadette.ca or 604-596-1101 .

 

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

Each year at the beginning of May, comic book stores around the world offer a selection of free comic books to its customers.  This is another great avenue to get young people interested in reading.  It is important that parents accompany their child(ren) as there might be some comics that are not suitable for young children.  This year the date is Saturday May 6th, 2017.

Free Screening at Langley Cinemas

Reminders

TRACK AND FIELD

Track and Field typically has the largest participation of any sport (usually over 100 students participating) and with the large amount of students to train and supervise we are in need of volunteers. There are many areas to help with, but we are very much in need of support in the following areas:

St. Bernadette Track Meet – Thursday April 25th – All Day –  handing out ribbons at the finish line.

Drivers to track Meets – Tues. April 25th, Wed. May 10th and Wed. June 7th

If you are able to help out, please email Mrs. De Sousa @ grade2@stbernadette.ca

 

MITE BOXES

Your child brought home his/her mite box on Ash Wednesday.  It is a long time custom to invite students to make a Lenten sacrifice for vocations and it continues to be encouraged through the distribution of mite boxes to each child during the Lenten season. The purpose of this activity is not financial but SPIRITUAL.  We are asking that all mite boxes be returned to school after Easter and no later than Friday, April 28th.

 

CONSTRUCTION

The city of Surrey will be installing a new water main on 65B Ave.  The will involve road work in the area for roughly a month.  We ask for your patience and courtesy towards the workers during this time.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact Mr. van der Pauw through the office.

 

FUN CASINO NIGHT – June 24th, 2017

Knights of Columbus #8629 is hosting a Fun Casino Night.  There will be 3 grand prizes given away, a silent auction, pot lucky and a raffle draw.  Tickets are $25 and includes $5,000 in play money and free snacks.  There will be a cash bar.  Doors open at 6:30pm and the event starts at 7:00pm.  For tickets please call John Noel @ 604-594-0081 or John Smith @ 604-590-3797

 

WHATEVER YOU TEACH A CHILD

WHETHER IT’S THROUGH YOUR WORDS OR

THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS,

LIVES ON FOREVER IN HIS OR HER HEART!!!
