This week Dec 8 - Dec 12 at a glance
On Tuesday morning, girls in grades 7 & 8 are invited to try out for our basketball team. On Tuesday afternoon, our grade 7s will be attending a presentation by York Region Police on Cyberbullying. It is an opportunity for our students to learn how to be safe while using social media and where to go for help. This ties directly to a digital citizenship unit they are currently engaged in.
On Wednesday afternoon, our grade 2 team will be presenting "December Lights, December Nights", a celebration of culture and traditions at this time of year.
On Friday afternoon, our Grades 4,5 & 6 will be entertained by a musical percussion group called TORQ. TORQ creates music using instruments created from recycled items. They illustrate for children how we can make music with our voices, our bodies and objects just lying around.

Today, many of our primary, junior and intermediate students received Best of the Bengals' certificates of character. Most students were recognized for their demonstration of honesty while some were also recognized for showing responsibility. Congratulations to this month's recipients! Students from Ms. Sluser's grade 6 class hosted and prepared a presentation about empathy. The focus for December will be walking in someone else's shoes and demonstrating that you understand and care about how others feel in situations.

It's all about the Goats! Goats give back! Children in Action's Global action... raising funds for Goats.
At our last school character assembly, students in the CIA group shared information about this year's school focus on fundraising for the the Free the Children campaign. The challenge was put forward to all classes in the school to identify a way to raise funds to purchase a goat for a family in the same village of Kenya that we supported last year in building a school. The goat provides the family with a source of nutritious milk and sustainable income. Each goat costs $50. Some examples so far:
Ms. Wong (Gr. 2) and Ms. Seehra's (Gr. 5/6) classes are working together to create hot chocolate packages for sale throughout the winter months.
Grades 7 and 8 classes are hosting a holiday event at school to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Students will donate funds by purchasing popcorn and treats to attend a movie afternoon.
Thank you to the BHES community for your generous support!
