Field Trips
We are now beginning the process of booking field trips for our students. As soon as possible we will communicate dates and times and the fee that will be attached to the event. Please note that fees for field trips will be added to your MyCBE account and are due by the date of the field trip. This is a big change from the past when you could pay your fees towards the end of the year. Please pay your fee as soon as possible to avoid missing the deadline date. We thank you in advance for your attention to this very important change to the fee process.
Meet the Teacher Night & Family Social– Sept 26
While the details are still in the works, we are excited to share that in with partnership with our School Council & Parent Association, we are looking to host a meet the parent night on the evening of September 26 that includes food trucks, opportunities to engage in play and connect with families in our community, and a chance to visit the classroom and meet the teacher. Stay tuned for more information.
Food Trucks on Sept 26
When you come to meet your child's teacher, the School Council is planning for food trucks to be at the school in the hopes it helps with the dinner rush! Grab a bite, stay to visit with one another and give your kids some time on the playground or gaga ball pit. 10% of our food purchases go to our school council and towards items we purchase for student learning.

Mandarin Program update
This week in the classroom, we had a meaningful discussion about Terry Fox, his incredible journey, and the importance of resilience. We explored how Terry Fox embodied perseverance in the face of challenges, inspiring us to keep going even when things get tough. After our conversation, we expressed these ideas creatively through drawing and Chinese writing, reflecting on Terry Fox's legacy and the value of doing hard things, even when it's difficult. It was a week of learning, reflection, and creative expression! Come by and check the students’ master pieces on our bulletin board!!
本周我们在中文课上讨论了跟Terry Fox有关的话题。他的经历以及令人难以置信的韧性对我们一/二年级的同学们有很大的启发。我们探讨了Terry Fox如何在面对挑战时体现出坚持不懈的精神，激励我们即使在遇到困难时也能继续前进。讨论结束后，我们通过绘画和中文写作创造性地表达了这些想法，表达了我们即使困难重重也要努力尝试的决心。这是学习、反思和表达创意的一周！快来我们的布告栏上看看同学们的杰作吧！
