Highlights from Our Learning

Fall arrived yesterday and students have been continuing to use their senses for signs of how we know it is fall.  Yesterday, the children discussed, wrote and illustrated how they see fall and today we shared what we hear in the fall.  We encouraged the children to go out for a walk after school with their families look for all the fall things they can see, hear, touch and smell.  They might even taste something being cooked in the kitchen that has to do with fall?

We continue to  learn about the legacy of our Canadian Hero Terry Fox.

The children have been sharing their Rooster is Off to See the World story with other grade 1 classmates from rooms 3 and 4.

Friendly reminders:

Terry Fox Run, Thursday, Sept. 26 at 1:15pm
Families are invited to join us for our school assembly and run which will be held on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 26 at approximately 1:15 PM. Students can bring a Toonie for Terry to school to support the fundraising efforts. Our fundraising goal this year is $800. 

Book exchange in the Learning Commons is on Thursday.  Please bring library books back before or on that day. 

Orange Shirt Day is observed on September 30th, but because our grade six students are involved in other activities on that day, BWS will observe Orange Shirt Day on Tuesday, October 1st instead. More information about this day will be forthcoming.

Volunteer Opportunities
Bridlewood School relies on volunteers to help us with fields trips, special lunches and Scholastic Book Fairs, just to name a few examples. We are currently putting together a list of people who may be able to give us the gift of some of their time for these occasions. If you are interested in supporting our school in this way, please email us at Bridlewood@cbe.ab.ca. Please remember that all volunteers must have a current security clearance and have completed a yearly volunteer form. If you need to begin this process, please visit our school office during regular office hours.
