Hello families,
Spring is Arriving
Spring is officially arriving this week and as we have seen new weather patterns are among us. Please have students dress in layers as we will be going outside each day unless it turns much colder. Also, please send an extra pair of socks and pants in your child's backpack in the event of falling or playing in the snow or water.
Message from School Council
Thank you casino volunteers. The November casino brought just over $80,000! The most we've ever received. This money will be put towards new opportunities for the students of Banting and Best School. The last donut/cheese bun day brought in just over $600 in profit for the school. When you participate in a fun lunch or donut day it raises money for the school to provide field trips and other things free of charge. Thank you to our parent community for supporting us in this way!
Council has a vacant position of treasurer. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out the school in this way please contact the school for more information.
Interested in attending a meeting? Come to our next meeting; April 9 at 6pm, have your voice heard on how to spend all this fundraised money.
