Dear Belfast Families,
It was a short week, but we ended it with a lot of creativity during our “Anything but a Water Bottle Day” today. We saw students with teapots, syrup bottles, camelbacks, coconuts, vases, etc. Thank you for embracing the excitement of our spirit days! Next Friday, we have a double spirit day: colour day (dress in one colour, head to toe), and our Veteran’s Food Bank Slurpee fundraiser, where students can get a Slurpee for $2, with $1 from each going to the Food Bank. Be sure to check out Instagram to see pictures of our spirit days!
Follow us on Instagram!
We encourage all our families to follow our school’s Instagram account (@BelfastSchoolcbe) and visit our school website to see pictures from the week. If you do not see your child on Instagram, it may be because they do not have clearance. Please call the office if you have any questions about clearance.
Welcome to Shelley Gayford, our new Administrative Assistant!
We are so pleased to welcome Ms. Shelley Gayford as our new Administrative Assistant at Belfast. Shelley will start on Monday, and she is looking forward to meeting all of the students, staff, and families. When we called for references for Shelley, everyone used the same two adjectives to describe her: lovely and competent. What more can we ask for as the face of Belfast School?!
As Shelley transitions from King George School, we ask for your patience with the office as she learns the ropes and implements her own way of doing things at Belfast. Please help me in welcoming Shelley to Belfast when you see her or speak with her!
Reminder: Slurpee Day Fundraiser for Veteran’s Food Bank – November 22
On Friday, November 22, students can bring $2 to school and enjoy a Slurpee from our neighbourhood 7-11. Half of the proceeds from every Slurpee sold will go to the Veteran’s Food Bank. Thank you to Rikki, one of our moms, who helped to make this fundraiser happen!
Reminder: Laundry Soap Donations
Leadership Club is collecting laundry soap and dryer sheets for the Veteran’s Food Bank. Students can bring donations to the front foyer throughout the rest of the month. The Veteran’s Food Bank wants us to remind families that dollar stores are a great place to purchase inexpensive laundry soap.
Thank you for helping out!
Reminder: Conferences - November 28 & 29
All parents are invited to book a conference with your child’s teacher. Please use the MyCBE portal to book your conference. If you have trouble booking, please see this link or contact the office.
Reminder: Save the Date: Winter Concert December 12
All students will be performing at our Winter Concert on Thursday, December 12. We will have two shows: one at 10:15 AM and one at 6:00 PM. Due to space constraints, we ask that only immediate family come to the evening performance; grandparents and other extended family members are encouraged to come to the morning performance.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have anything you would like to share.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Meagan Lundgren
Principal
Belfast School
