May 1st

 

Hello Brackendale families,

 

It certainly felt like summer these last couple of days! We have a busy week, full of sport. Today, a number of our older students got to spend time with Stephen, from the Squamish Axemen, and learned the basic of rugby. Big thanks to Stephen, and we look forward to welcoming him back in a couple of weeks for a 2nd session. We also had Jordan from Sport for Life, who spent all day yesterday working with our students, getting them excited about floor hockey. We are so thankful for these community partners that expose our students to new sports in a safe and healthy way.

As we look ahead to this weekend and next week, please try to find time to head to the Brackendale Art Gallery this Sunday, from 10-4, when our students’ art work will be displayed and you will have a chance to purchase their art and support the school. Thank you to the PAC for organizing this great event.

A reminder that next Friday, May 8th, will be our final Pro-D day of the school year.

School Meal Program: Zero Waste Pilot!

 

Just in time for Earth Day on April 22, Brackendale Elementary is proud to be the first school to pilot a zero-waste lunch program as part of the School Meal Program, in partnership with Squamish CAN. Meals will be served on reusable plates and bowls, and all food waste will be composted.

 

Parents/guardians: if your child participates in the meal program and you would like them to bring home any leftovers, please send a reusable container with them. Please note that food should not be consumed if it has been outside of refrigeration for more than two hours.

Thank you for supporting this initiative! 🌱
