Liebe Eltern, dear parents and guardians,
The mural project has cleared another hurdle. Brit Hart (parent who is spearheading the project), myself and the area 1 facility team lead met on Thursday to discuss the project, next steps and its placement. This part of the process was signed off. They loved the design. Stay tuned!
Next week sees the grade 6 students writing their Social Studies and Science Provincial Achievement Test. Ms. Tetz has worked hard to teach the students how to sign in, go to the correct site, and complete a prep PAT. Success! This is the very first year that this exam is completed 100% online in a new-to-all-of-us program. All students now know how to log in. No glitches. They are ready! If you have a grade 6 student, encourage them to study a little more before the exams on Wednesday and Thursday.
Bussing for the 24-25 school year. Registration for next year’s bus is due TODAY! If you have not registered for bussing for next year, today is your last chance to have your address included in next year’s route.
Warm regards,
Meike Thomsen, Principal

BPAC needs your help! 37 more slots need to be filled.
Elbow River Casino
After two long years, we have finally been awarded our next casino dates!!
Saturday, October 5 & Sunday, October 6
This is by far the single biggest fundraiser for the school! Funds raised at the casino are used to purchase new tech equipment, hire artists in residency, school field trips, Alien Inline, Mobile Escapes, and many daily used indoor and outdoor items for teachers, students and staff.
We are urgently looking to fill the most 'key positions' - General Manager, Banker, Countroom Supervisor. Please remember that you can work both days, but you have to work the same position during those days; you cannot be a General Manager one day and then a countroom staff the next day
You DO NOT need to have volunteer clearance to volunteer at a casino. Everyone over 18 welcome; Moms, Dads, Friends, Neighbours, Grandmas, Grandpas, Uncles and Aunts.
Please reach out if you have any questions
Nicole Walker
