Bonjour BP families,
A quick reminder that Monday March 17 will be a special fun lunch to help celebrate French week! Parents can order poutine from our on-site food truck through Healthy Hunger. There are gluten free and vegetarian poutine options as well as plain fries or fries with gravy. Orders must be placed online and cannot be ordered on the day of the event. The deadline to order is March 12.
Thank you for supporting our Healthy Hunger Lunch fundraiser and enjoy the break from packing a lunch!
A note of thanks for students for their ongoing efforts in keeping tidy during the CUPE labor action.
I'd also like to shout out our parent volunteers. Whether it's for Healthy Hunger helping to hand out and organize fun lunches to volunteering their days on many field trips, know that we value your time and generosity!
Don't forget that we spring forward an hour this weekend!
