Dear Beddington Heights Families,

On Friday, it was wonderful to see so many families and students gather for our garden event. A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Quigley and the Gardening Club for their incredible work in beautifying our school grounds and creating rich outdoor learning opportunities. Events like these reflect the strength of our school community and the value we place on learning in connection with nature.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge that Eid al-Adha has just passed. To all families who celebrated, I hope it was a joyful and meaningful time with your loved ones.

I have a few additional notices this week:

Free Calgary Stampeder Tickets

We’re still waiting on the tickets for the June 21st Stampeders game, but I’ll be sure to distribute them as soon as they arrive. It was wonderful to see so many BHS families enjoy the game this past weekend, and we’re looking forward to another great turnout on the 21st!

At this point, we anticipate being able to accommodate all ticket requests that have been submitted. If you’re still interested in attending — even if you already received tickets for the June 7th game — just send me a message. We’ll do our best to fulfill as many requests as possible.

Leadership Club Final Spirit Day | June 20

On Thursday, June 20, we’re celebrating Career Day! Students are invited to dress up as their future career — whether they dream of being a scientist, artist, mechanic, teacher, or anything in between. It's a fun opportunity for students to explore their interests and share their aspirations with the class!

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

Upcoming Casino | Message from Parent Council

We have a number of upcoming volunteer opportunities, including our biggest fundraiser, the casino. This is the major source of funding for resources and activities for students of BHS. Field trips, residency programs, supplemental classroom materials are all paid for with money from this fundraiser. No police clearance is required for the casino and anyone can volunteer (including all of your friends and family). Please spread the word to help our fundraising effort.
