B&B Bulletin April 14-17, 2025

 

Hello families,

Family STEAM Night 

We have been busy preparing for creativity, experiments, robotics, building and design challenges! We hope all families will join us this Thursday, April 17th, 2025 @6:00-7:00pm to build their Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math understanding.  

Safety Reminders 

With the Spring weather moving in, it is so wonderful to see many students and families walking, scooting or riding to school. The roads around the school can get quite congested both before and after school. Student safety is our number 1 responsibility and we would like to remind drivers of the following: 

  • U-turns are not permitted in front of the school and are extremely dangerous. 
  • Students should only cross the road at the cross walks. Darting out between cars or busses has been causing significant risk to people walking and to drivers.  
  • When parking, please pull up to the car in front to maximize the parking available 
  • You can park along the road on 18th Street as well as along 66 Ave. 
  • Please be mindful of the bus zones. These are in effect throughout the day, even if busses are not currently parked there.  
  • To relieve congestion and to be helpful to other families, please drive away after your child is safely on the sidewalk. Sitting in your car for extended periods of times reduces the space for other drivers. 
  • The doors close promptly at 8:10 am, which is when classroom instruction begins. Students who arrive after this time are welcomed through the main office to ensure accurate attendance.  
  • The fenced learning space in front of the school is for school learning. Please do not enter this area or put children over the fence. This is a safety risk.  

Garden Cleanup  

The front of our school is a beautiful learning space for our students. There is a amphitheatre 'classroom' and a variety of beautiful trees. We do also have a few areas that can grow annuals such as the beautiful sunflowers you many have seen in previous years. In order to get this space reading for the growing season, School Council is looking for volunteers!  

Who: all families are invited and children are welcome to join and help or play on the playground 

When: May 3rd, 2025 @1pm.  

Where: the learning space in the front of the school 

What: Please bring a picnic lunch/snacks and some gardening tools and gloves 

 
Elections Canada Voting Station 

On April 28th, the Federal Election will be happening and our school has been selected as a voting station. Voters will have access to the office side of our double doors. Our students will remain on the Learning Commons side of the double doors and if they need to go to the office they will be escorted by a staff member. We request extra patience that day as we adapt to these changes.  


Soccer Game 

CBE and Cavalry FC are excited to announce the second annual CBE x Cavalry FC match on Saturday, May 25th at 3:00 PM, featuring the Cavalry Football Club Student Game and School Fundraiser Day. Each $35 ticket includes taxes and fees, with $3.50 from every ticket sold donated to your school.

This event is open to all CBE students, parents, and staff, and includes free parking, fun activities for students before the match, seating in the family section (Section 101, an alcohol-free zone), a Cavalry FC pencil case, one water, and one hot dog per ticket.
