Dear Beddington Heights Families,

A reminder that we have class photos and photo retakes this week on Wednesday. All students will participate in class photos while only select students (those who were not present for our individual photo day/ those requesting a re-take) will have their personal photo taken. If your child was present, but you would still like them to have a re-take done, please email your child’s teacher to let them know by end of day Tuesday.

We are still looking for volunteers for our Grade 3 Field Trip to National Geographic at the Arts Common this Tuesday morning. Please contact Ms. Hansen (rahansen@cbe.ab.ca) or Mrs. Diduch (aediduch@cbe.ab.ca) if you are on our volunteer list and willing to join them this Tuesday for the trip. Volunteers are critical to ensuring our students are able to access these opportunities!

I have one additional update today:

Leadership Club’s School Spirit Day | This Friday

Get ready for Twin, Triplet, and Squad Day! Grab a friend or a group, plan your matching outfits, and show off your style as part of a dynamic duo, terrific trio, or even a full squad. Join the fun and let’s see how many look-alikes we can create on Spirit Day!

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our office at 403-777-6610.

Take care, 

Steve Ross

Principal, Beddington Heights School

Our second Fun Lunch of the year will be November 21^st from McDonalds. The order deadline was yesterday.

Our next Fun Lunch will be December 12^th from Coco Brooks. You can order a Fun Lunch for your child at healthyhunger.ca. Deadline for ordering is Saturday, December 7^th.

Popcorn Sales

This year, Parent Council will be selling popcorn for students every Thursday. All proceeds will support BHS families in need during the Winter Break/Christmas season.New this year, popcorn orders will be made through Healthy Hunger, so students won’t need to bring money to school. Families can also pre-order for multiple weeks if they prefer.

To order, please visit HealthyHunger.ca. The first popcorn delivery will be on October 24th, and the ordering deadline each week is the Saturday before each Thursday.

Warm Hearts, Warm Jackets: Helping Keep Our Community Cozy!

As the chilly season approaches, we’re dedicated to supporting our school community and ensuring everyone stays warm. Thanks to organizations like Jacket Racket and Boots for Kids, we have resources to help those in need.

If you or someone you know requires assistance in acquiring a warm jacket or boots for the winter, please reach out to Rachael at rjtipper@cbe.ab.ca. Let’s come together to keep our community cozy!

Winter Concert/ Celebration of Learning

Due to continued delays with the gym floor replacement, we must cancel the Grade K/4/6 Winter Celebration of Learning originally planned for December 5th. Instead, Kindergarten students will now join Grades 2 and 5 for an afternoon and evening Celebration of Learning on February 27th, while Grades 4 and 6 will join Grades 1 and 3 for a Celebration of Learning on May 1st.

​​​​​​​Parent Teacher Interviews | November 28 & 29
