School News

CROWNING OF MARY

The Crowning of Mary will take place on Wednesday, May 24th, starting at 9:15am. Every student is asked to bring in a flower for the Crowning of Mary.

 

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 .

Reminders

DROP OFF & PICK UP

Please do not park or idle your car in any area in our parking lot other than the marked parking stalls.  We are noticing an increase in student being dropped off in areas where there is no stopping or parking.  This practice is unsafe for your child and those around you.

We have also noticed that many of the reported incidents of unsafe driving and parking in undesignated areas happens between 8:55am and 9:15am.  We believe that arriving to school on time is an essential lesson students must learn, but driving and disobeying school rules is not worth the extra minute you may or may not save by behaving this way in our lot. Please be safe at all times and if you are late, do not try to make up time by disregarding our rules.

We have received inquiry as to why the lane has been blocked from traffic.  Unfortunately we had too many close calls of students and parents getting hit by cars coming from the lane.  Since closing the lane, safety in the parking lot has increased.  When we opened it for one day last month to see if anything had changed, 2 children were almost hit by a car turning the wrong way and another vehicle almost hit another car exiting the parking lot.  The lane will remain closed in order to ensure the upmost safety in our parking lot.

If you are having someone else dropping off or picking up your child(ren), please remind them of the proper procedures.

 

WALKATHON

The deadline to return all  donations was Friday May 5th. Any outstanding pledge forms and money are now past due.  Please submit them to the office as soon as possible. The class that collects the most pledges will be awarded ice cream sandwiches from Dairy Queen on Friday May 19th

 

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

 

WHEN WE HAVE

DONE OUR BEST,

                  WE SHOULD WAIT                  

THE RESULT IN PEACE.
