We've had a fantastic week at BHS! On Wednesday, many students dressed as twins. Thursday was dedicated to Land Based Learning. Today, we celebrated Indigenous People's Day and Play Day. As we head into our final week of the school year, please let teacher’s know if your child  will be leaving prior to Thursday so they can send their personal items home with them. A reminder that our final day of school is this Thursday, and school will end at 11:50 instead of the regular 2:35.

I have a couple additional items to highlight this week:

Truth and Reconciliation – Call to Action

As a school, in alignment with our commitment to continue to work together as a community in laying the foundation for reconciliation through education, we have committed to continuing to decolonize curriculum resources by infusing Indigenous literature as part of our ongoing practice. Our full Truth and Reconciliation Commitment can be found here.

Class Configuration for 2024-25

We are in the process of finalizing our class configuration for the 24-25 school year. Below is an outline of how we have configured our school for next year:

Grade 6 Farewell | Wednesday, June 26

We will be holding a Farewell Assembly this Wednesday to say goodbye to students and staff who are leaving. The schedule is as follows:

- 10:00-11:00: Full school assembly to say goodbye to all departing students and staff.

- 11:00-12:00: Extended assembly for Grade 5/6 students and their families, with a special farewell for the Grade 6 students.

Please contact the school if you have any questions about the farewell celebrations.

I want to wish everyone a fantastic weekend. If you need any assistance, feel free to reach out—I'm here to help.

Take care, 

Steve Ross
