Grade 5 Farewell

Today we had our farewell for the grade 5s leaving our school. It was an exciting time to spend with family and friends. Thanks to everyone for coming out to share in this special day with us. It is hard to believe that the year has already flown by. We are so proud of all of you and what you have accomplished during your time at BHS. We know you will continue to do great things. Here is a video of some of the highlights from our celebration. Thanks Ms Wasney for sharing your photos!

We Are Silent

The BHS Spin Club is running the We Are Silent campaign again this year. People all over the world are going to remain silent on April 17th to take a stand for people whose voices are not heard. For $1 students will be able to participate in a vow of silence by purchasing a We Are Silent tag. The money raised will go to our global initiative which is supporting education in Nicaragua. We hope you will join us in supporting this cause. Click here to find out more about this campaign and to learn about Malala's story.

BHS Winter Olympics Day!

Today we had our Winter Olympics at BHS. It was a day filled with great events and lots of excitement.With all the indoor recesses we have been experiencing, it was a super way to break up the week and to enjoy lots of activity. Students were teamed up with their little buddies and they did an amazing job of working together. Congratulations to everyone for the great sportsmanship and teamwork shown today. Thanks to Mrs. Rand for organizing this fantastic day.

We started our day with a SMILE! Ms Wasney picked up some cookies for us at Tim Horton's this morning. All the proceeds from the sale of the cookies go to the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. You still have a few days to purchase the chocolate chip smile cookies and help a great cause.  - Mrs. T :)

So yummy!
 

Terry Fox Run

Today we had the Terry Fox run. It was fun but it was very hot out. Everyone was sweating. Terry Fox was 18 when he found out he had cancer. They had to cut off his leg and he got an artificial leg. He ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Terry Fox ran a marathon every day. We ran in the field today for only 30 minutes. This is an important time to raise money for people in need and to remember Terry Fox.

International Dot Day

September 15 is International Dot Day. This day is inspired by Peter H. Reynolds's book called The Dot, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. It is a book that encourages the creativity to bloom in all of us. Can't wait to read the book to the class on Monday! Thanks Mrs. Dent Scarcello for letting us know about this fun day.
