GRADE 6 FUNDRAISER
Grade 6 students will be selling freezies on Friday, May 12 to raise money for the children suffering from the famine in South Sudan. This tragedy is close to the students’ hearts as a result of their study of this issue in Literature Circles and Social Studies this year. Freezies will be sold for $1 each or .50 cents for half. Proceeds will be sent to Development and Peace to help support the aid efforts in S. Sudan. If you have any questions or would like to donate a box of freezies to support this sale, please e-mail grade6@stbernadette.ca.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TRACK MEET
The K of C Track Meet will be held this Saturday, May 13th at Bear Creek Park. Students are to find their own transportation to and from the meet. We ask that you do not drop your child off, but come and watch them compete. We enjoy attending this meet as it gives families a chance to watch their child in action when normally they could not come to an event held during school hours. Please make every effort to come and support your child!
SCHOOL UNIFORM FITTINGS
The uniform fittings will be on the following Tuesdays: May 23rd, 30th, June 6th & Thursdays, May 25th, June 1st & 8th, the morning fittings are from 8:30-9:15 and afternoon fittings are from 3:00-3:45.
We do not place your order, this is strictly uniform fittings.
Cambridge Uniforms will their have no sales tax event the week of June 12th.
We would also like to remind you that next year, only Cambridge uniforms will be allowed to be worn in the school.
USED UNIFORMS
We will once again be having the “Used Uniforms” program. One of our parents, Angeline Yaschyshyn, has kindly volunteered to be in charge of keeping inventory and distributing the requested used uniform item. If you have any school uniform and/or gym strip items and shoes that your child has outgrown and would like to donate to the “Used Uniform” program, please contact Angeline Yaschyshyn via e-mail:useduniforms@stbernadette.ca. The used uniform items will be sold at a very inexpensive rate and all proceeds generated from the sales come back directly to the school. We hope to have this program up and running soon.
SCHOOL CHOIR
The choir will resume next school year as long as we get enough parent help/supervision. Mrs. Ellis, our current music director will not be available, Mr. Roy will be taking her place. The role of the parent will strictly be to supervise the students and to ensure their safety when being dismissed from practice. This volunteer commitment will count as parent participation hours. Please contact the office if you are able to help out with this commitment.
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 .
