BHES PRIDE Day on June 11

At Bayview Hill Elementary School, we are committed to fostering a sense of belonging for all students, parents and staff, and work hard to build a learning community that is respectful, supportive and welcoming to all. June is Pride month, and while Pride events are focused on celebrating the LGBTQ community, it is also a celebration of diversity, equity and inclusivity.

On June 11th we will celebrate Pride as a school community in the following ways: 
·         The Grade 7/8 students will have a panel discussion hosted by speakers from Youth Speak
·         The Pride flag will be on display in the front hall
·         Students and staff will be encouraged to wear a shirt that is one or the colours of the rainbow

Bike to School Week

Did you know...
·         Increased physical activity on your way to school has found to increase alertness and attention during the school day.
·         Biking to school is good for student mental health, reducing stress, depression, and anxiety, and increasing happiness and positive emotions.
·         Air pollution that is caused by motorized vehicles hurts children’s heart and lungs.

From Monday, May 28th to Friday, June 1st BHES will be participating in Bike to School Week. Students who bike to school will be entered to win daily bike-related prizes!

Junior Track and Field
On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, our Junior students competed in our school’s annual Track and Field meet. The competition was intense, and all athletes work hard for the chance to represent BHES at the upcoming Area Track and Field Meet. A big thank you to all the teachers who volunteered their time to organize all the events, and tabulate the results. Also, thank you to the teachers who supervised both the students and an event over the two days of the meet. Go Bengal!
