September 25

Hello Brackendale families,

 

We finish the week feeling like we have left summer behind and welcome autumn to Squamish. We had some great school energy this week, with classrooms really getting into their learning, as well as some fun full-school events. We had our first Routine Rally of the year, reviewing how to be safe inside and outside our building, and our expectations around recess. Thank you to all those families that joined us for our Open House on Tuesday evening and connected with the school community. We also had our Terry Fox Run on Thursday. We modified our route this year, and did a run between Brackendale and Don Ross properties. Huge thanks to the Don Ross Leadership students, who had music playing, pom-poms waving and created a Terry Fox Tunnel of Fun for our students to run through. It was a great way to celebrate one of our Canadian heroes.

 

We look forward to more community events next week. All parents are welcome to attend our Truth and Reconciliation assembly next Tuesday, September 29th, at 11:05am. Ms. Brant's class has taken on this important assembly. Also a reminder that next Wednesday is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, and there is no school in session.  

 

We can now expect wetter and colder weather moving forward. Please send your child to school with appropriate raingear and outdoor footwear. We will have recess outdoors except under the most exceptional circumstances. If children get wet and cold over recess, it is very hard for them to be able to focus on their learning. Thank you so much for your support.
