Information and Reminders....

Parent(s),

 This message is an informational one.  Please take a look below. 

Glenbow Museum Field Trip:

 On the informational page of the paperwork that was sent home, we forgot to mention that students are to bring a peanut free non-microwaveable lunch on the day of the field trip. 

 Some of you may have experienced frustration around being able to pay for the field trip fee of $25.00 online or through the point of sale machine in the office.  There has been a new change with how things are set up for pay fees.  Apparently, each field trip fee needs be set up downtown before parents can pay online or on the POS system.  The set up time takes a maximum of 10 business days.  If you'd like, you can either wait until the fee payment is set up or you can send in a cheque to cover the cost of the field trip.  Thank you for your understanding!

 Recycled Item Art Project:

 Students have been continuing to explore Victor Nunes' artwork of everyday objects.  As their cumulative art project, students have been asked to bring in an item from your blue recycling bin at home.  Please ensure that the selected object doesn't have any sharp edges (e.g. a tin lid) or isn't too large or bulky to attach to a piece paper that is 11x17.  All student recyclable items need to be at school by Wed. February 5th.  Thank you!

Take a look at the video of his artwork below.


Food Bank Challenge:

We are still collecting non-perishable food items for our Food Bank drive until February 7th.  Early last week, there were still two cardboard boxes empty so the staff at Briar Hill decided to put forth a challenge between the Division 1 and Division 2 students to see which division could fill up their box.  If you have already donated please know that we appreciate your generosity and support of our initiative.  For those who would still like to donate, I've included a list of some of the most needed items at the Calgary Food Bank.
  • Juice (1 litre)
  • Baby Formula with Iron
  • Pasta
  • Pasta Sauce
  • Canned Tomatoes
  • Peanut Butter
