I want to say a big thanks to everyone who joined us for the Spring Concert featuring our talented grades 3-6 students today (and those who will join us tonight)! They put in so much effort, and it truly showed in their performance. A special shout out to Ms. Van Es and the grades 3-6 teachers for their dedication in making this event a success.

We also want to express our gratitude to the volunteers whose support enriches our programs at BHS. Your contributions are invaluable, and we're deeply thankful for all that you do. It was nice to recognize many of our volunteers at the Volunteer Tea this afternoon.

Kudos to our Kindergarten students for their performance for the volunteers, to our room 17 and 13 students for their exceptional artwork and for the team of Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Craig and Mr. Quigley for orchestrating the entire event seamlessly!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is a non-instructional day, meaning students have the day off.

I have a few items to highlight this week:

School Planning Engagement Results

At our February School Council meeting, along with my February 23rd weekly update, I shared a presentation on our School Development Plan (SDP) and School Fees. The aim was to offer clarity and gather input as we prepare for the upcoming year. As part of this effort, we sought feedback from families. You can find the results of this parent feedback on the SDP and Fees in the School Planning Engagement section of our school website.

ELEV8 Lacrosse

At the end of May, we will be Elev8 Lacrosse residency will be hosting a residency for BHS students. Prior to this, they are hosting a “TRYit” event on May 11th at the Calgary Soccer Centre for any interested students. Please see the attached flyer if you are interested. Elev8 Lacrosse ​​​​​​​

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
