Dear Beddington Heights Families,

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s Parent Council Dance! It was wonderful to see so many families come together to share in the fun, laughter, and community spirit.

We’re especially grateful to the incredible volunteers who helped make the evening such a success. From setting up and supervising to keeping the energy high throughout the night. Your time and effort truly made a difference.

I have a couple additional notices this week:

Bottle Drive for Grade 6 Farewell

The Grade 6 Farewell Committee will be hosting a bottle drive on Saturday, June 7 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Families are encouraged to drop off bottles and cans at the school parking lot during this time to help support the farewell celebrations.

If you’re unable to attend on Saturday, bottles can also be dropped off on Friday, June 6 during school hours.

All funds raised will go toward making the Grade 6 Farewell a special and memorable event. Our Grade 6 students have been positive role models and leaders in our school community, and we’re excited to celebrate their achievements.

Thank you to the Grade 6 Farewell Committee for all your hard work and dedication!

Volunteers Needed for Grade 6 Farewell – June 25

We are looking for volunteers to help make our Grade 6 Farewell celebration a fun and memorable event. The farewell and dance will take place on the morning of Wednesday, June 25, and we need extra hands to help run games and support activities during the dance.

If you are able to help, please contact Brooklyn Shill at brooklynshill@gmail.com.

Your time and support will go a long way in creating a special send-off for our amazing Grade 6 students. Thank you in advance!

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

Take care, 

Steve Ross

Principal, Beddington Heights School

Fun Lunch | Panago Pizza on June 19 (Deadline to order is June 14)

You can order a Fun Lunch for your child at healthyhunger.ca. This upcoming month we were able to provide nine students with a Fun Lunch who do not typically receive one due to generous donations of Beddington Heights families! Thank you for your support!

Below is a note I received from a family who received a Donated Fun Lunch from our school community:

​​​​​​​“Please accept our sincerest gratitude for the wonderful Fun Lunch that our children received today. They came home absolutely delighted and shared how much they enjoyed the special meal. Their excitement was truly heartwarming for us to see.

We deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness and the kindness of the parents who contributed to the Fun Lunch program. It is such a generous initiative and it genuinely means a great deal to our family.”

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 ordering deadline each week is the Saturday before each Thursday.

Nations Visions | Free Vision Screening May 20-30

Nations Visions will be on site providing free vision screening for all students whose parents provided consent to be checked. Your child will be coming home with consent forms in the near future. Please contact the office if you have any questions.  Consent and information forms are available at the office, or you can contact the school and we will have another one sent home with your child.

BHSPA Parent Engagement Night | June 4 @ 7pm

The BHS Parent Association is pleased to share that they’ve scheduled an online parent presentation for Wednesday, June 4 from 7:00–8:00 PM.

Presenter: Karen Knutson, Licensed Health & Nutrition Counselor

This 40-minute session will be followed by a Q&A, and supporting materials will be available afterward for families. Topics will include:

1. The impact of nutrition on children’s behavior and attention during the school day
2. Tips for supporting kids who pack their own lunches
3. Ideas for involving kids and families in meal prep, including affordable and inclusive protein options for a variety of dietary needs

We look forward to seeing you there!
