Bonjour BP families, 

Wishing our grade 8 and 9 band students the best of luck as they perform at the Alberta Band Association Festival this week! The grade 7's have their chance next week. Bonne chance! Bravo et felicitations as well to our Drama Club staff and students as they staged and presented a terrific show of Hallway Hysteria last week. We love to see the arts flourish at BP.  

Not to be left out are our badminton coaches and students who are representing BP at various tournaments across CBE schools. A big thank you also to our Leadership students who led our incoming grade 6's for school tours last week as well. Way to go!  

Lost & Found - Last Chance! 

Our Lost & Found is once again overflowing with hoodies, water bottles, lunch bags, and other mysterious items. Students are encouraged to stop by and check for missing belongings before Thursday this week. On Friday, May 15, while students are away for the Non Instructional  Day, we’ll be doing a full Lost & Found clean-out. Any unclaimed items left behind will be donated and sent off to begin their next adventure. If your child has been wondering where their favourite hoodie disappeared to… there’s a very good chance it’s waiting patiently in the Lost & Found. 

Thanks for your help!
