Dear Belfast Families, 

 

It feels great to be back! Thank you so much to everyone who sent well wishes while I was away. I am happy to be back in school, and picked a busy week to return, as we had our productive School Council and Parent Fundraising Society meetings on Tuesday evening, and our awesome family Halloween dance on Thursday evening. Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the evening events this week! 

 

I would like to thank Shelagh for stepping into the role while I was away; Shelagh is kind, calm, and competent and we all learned a lot from her extensive school experience. I would like to thank Clancy as well for all of her hard work. Clancy really had to take care of all of the administrative duties that we usually split amongst us, and she did a wonderful job! I am so lucky to have Clancy as my admin partner. Thank you, Clancy! 

 

We encourage all our families to follow our school’s Instagram account (@BelfastSchoolcbe) and visit our school website to see pictures from the week.   

 

Important Dates 

At Council, parents requested that we move the important dates to the top of the Weekly Update, rather than the bottom. Let us know what you think of the change!  

 

Grades 1-6 at Telus Spark 

Thank you to School Council and our Parent Fundraising Society for the opportunity to continue our partnership with Telus Spark. All of our Grade 1-6 students will be heading to Spark on Monday, November 6. We will leave the school at 9:00 and return at 2:00. We require one parent volunteer to attend with each class. If you have your security clearance completed and are able to volunteer, please contact your child’s teacher.  

 

Save the Date: Remembrance Day Assembly  

Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be Wednesday, November 8 at 10:30. All classes will have a part in the assembly. Family members are invited to attend the assembly as a way to celebrate peace and honour those who sacrificed for the peace that we have today.  

 

Fun Lunch: Coco Brooks 

Our next Fun Lunch will be on Wednesday, November 15 and will be Coco Brooks pizza. You can order your child’s lunch on the Healthy Hunger website here. If you would like your child to participate, but are worried about the cost of participating due to financial concerns, please contact Clancy at cleevans@cbe.ab.ca or call the school.  Please note that Coco Brooks does provide a gluten-free option as well.  

 

Volunteers Needed: Alien Inline Skating 

Our Parent Fundraising Society has funded an amazing opportunity for all of our students at Belfast: Alien Inline skating lessons. All students will receive three sessions of inline skating during the residency from November 15-23.  

To ensure the students get the most possible time on their skates, we require parent volunteers to help get kids in and out of their skates, pads, and helmets. If you are able to volunteer at all during these days, and have a current approved police check, please contact Clancy at cleevans@cbe.ab.ca.

 

Thank you!  

 

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have anything you would like to share.   

 

Have a wonderful weekend, 

Meagan Lundgren

Belfast School
