Here are the weekly updates:

Food Supports

Universal Breakfast Program

We are fortunate to be able to offer a breakfast program for all students at Banting and Best School, provided through School Nutrition Program. We provide a variety of foods, such as milk, yogurt, cheese, various fruits, cereals, muffins, or WOW bars. This year we are providing breakfast from 8:00-8:15. It is imperative that your child arrives on time if he/she wants to have breakfast. This will ensure that your child has a full belly while also not impeding instructional time.

Weekends and More “WAM” Bags

This free program is in place to support children and their families with a bag of snacks and a few grocery items that are meant to supplement the food that your family consumes on the weekends. Most of the food requires little to no preparation and discreetly fits into your child's backpack to take home. WAM Bags are given out on Fridays, for as long as families would like to participate. Please email Heather Seymour (hgseymour@cbe.ab.ca) as soon as possible if you are interested.

Kindergarten

Full days start this Monday, September 11 from 8:00 am to 2:50 pm. Reminder; starting Monday, Kindergarten students need a lunch, snack and a water bottle labelled with their name.

School Council

Please come to our School Council meeting this Tuesday, September 12 at 6pm. All parents/guardians are encouraged to attend. This is an opportunity to support the school and make important decisions on ways to support our students. We hope to see you there!
