March 06

Hello Brackendale families,

 

As we approach March Break, there is definitely some excitement in the air with our students, and staff. However, they remain engaged in their day-to-day learning and the special events that can make each day meaningful. We had some special visitors this week, with the Bonhomme Carnaval spending some time with us, celebrating French culture and language. We also had Miel, from Project Aim, deliver an important and educational menstruation workshop to our grade 5/6 students as part of their health curriculum. We also finished the basketball season with a fantastic tournament at Don Ross, where about 30 teams from all elementary schools played their hearts out. Huge thanks to Coaches Evan and Brie for their time and patience with our young athletes.

 

As we look ahead next week to our final days before March Break, please make sure to inform Ms. Cruz in the office and your child’s teacher if you will be leaving before March 13th, so we have a good sense of who will be in attendance.

 

Antony Blaikie – Principal
