Belfast School Weekly Update
We have many field trips coming up these next few months and are always in need of volunteers. If you have your clearance, please consider volunteering for your child’s trip – or any other trip! Kindergarten trips are always more difficult to get volunteers for since many of the parents do not have clearance yet, so if you are interested in volunteering with any other classes besides your own child’s, let us know!
Follow us on Instagram @BelfastSchoolcbe. If you do not see your child on Instagram and would like to, please complete the annual authorization form on MyCBE.
Pie-in-the-Face Returns!
Apparently, our students enjoy throwing food at staff because Leadership Club is bringing back the pie-in-the-face fundraiser! This year, the proceeds will be split between our Parent Fundraising Society and our charity of the year, Parachutes for Pets.
Leadership Club students will sell tickets every morning from April 20 – May 1. The assembly will be on Thursday, May 7 at 10:00 AM and families are welcome to come and watch if they would like. Tickets will be 4 for $1, and students can choose to put all their tickets into one staff member’s envelope or split them up. We will draw names right at the assembly to see who gets to pie the each staff member!
Friend’s Pizza Fundraiser Night
On Wednesday, April 29, skip the dinner preparations and call Friend’s Pizza! Our generous Friend’s Pizza neighbours will donate a portion of all proceeds back to our Parent Fundraising Society. Be sure to tell them that you’re with Belfast School when you order. Check out the menu and ordering options here
Volunteer Breakfast – Please RSVP
We will be hosting a volunteer appreciation breakfast on Thursday, May 14 at 9:00. We hope that anyone who has volunteered at the school, on Council, on a field trip, and so on, can come out to be celebrated. An RSVP is required by May 1 to Shelley at sngayford@cbe.ab.ca
National Indigenous People’s Day Celebration – Date Change
We will be hosting the Tootoosis family for pow wow dancing and a round dance on Wednesday, June 17, starting at 10:15 AM. Please note this is a date change from what was previously communicated. We invite all our Belfast families to attend!
