Bonjour BP families:

 

It is a bittersweet farewell this week to Mr. Aylesworth, who has been with us in an Acting Assistant Principal role since mid-November of last year. Since stepping foot into BP, Mr. Aylesworth has gone out of his way to quickly get to know new students, get reacquainted with former Jennie Elliot students, and make his presence known in the halls and classes. Chris, thank you so much for giving your all and making all of us smile daily. You will be truly missed.  

 

New Website 

All CBE schools will be switching over to new websites over the next while, and BP's website will be new as of February 9. The tech team is working busily to migrate our content over. From February 9 onwards, you can find our website here: https://bishoppinkham.cbe.ab.ca . All new information will be posted at the site of the new address from the 9th onwards.  

 

Semaine de la Francophonie/French Week 

Our Immersion team will be busy planning events for the whole school for French Week upcoming in March. Look out for class games, relays, a French café, and other fun activities  that celebrate Canada's French heritage. There may be special appearances from Bonhomme Carnaval...
