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 last practice for the School Choir will be on Monday, May 8th. 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 .
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, please contact your local comic book store to see if they are participating.
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU
Tomorrow is international Star Wars day. To help celebrate the fun, any student who wishes to come in a Star Wars costume or t-shirt may do so. We ask that all weapons such as lightsabers and blaster, stay at home.
