Bonjour BP families.
Hard to believe we are at the end of May! June will fly by in a flash. For our current grades 7-8 families, if your student is not attending Bishop Pinkham for next year, please email bishoppinkham@cbe.ab.ca to notify us as we continue to plan for staffing for the next school year.
Last Friday was Wellness Day for our students. Staff led students through activities that focused on student wellbeing. Students were engaged in an array of different sessions, such as Cross Net, 9 Square, crochet, board games, friendship bracelets, and much more. We would be remiss not to say that the karaoke emanating from room 26 filled the halls with the sounds of doves and angels! Thank you to all students for their participation, and staff for their hours of planning and thought for this day.
