Healthy School Bingo

As of Tuesday April 7, 2015 we will be beginning our new "Healthy School Bingo!" Each homeroom classroom, has a Healthy School Bingo card .  

Everyday after recess or before lunch a new healthy food, action or choice will be called for the class to check on the bingo card.  The catch is, the bingo card can only be marked if someone in the class has either had that healthy food for snack, or did the action within the past 24hours.  Water is FREE as everyone should be drinking lots of water.

For example...

If strawberries gets called, you can only mark that part of the card if someone had it for snack on that day.

If Yoga gets called, you can only mark that part of the card if the teacher did it with the class that day or a students participated in a class or team the night before.

  

The first classroom the get a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line will win our Healthy School Bingo trophy, which is kept  until the next winner.

This is an initiative of our Healthy School Team to  encourage a healthy lifestyle through healthy snack choices and daily physical activity. 

ECO school Reminder

Please use reusable containers for snacks and lunches at school.

Earth Hour

Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet organized by the World Wildlife Fund. The event is held worldwide annually encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on the last Saturday in March, as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. The goal is to get as many individuals and businesses as possible to turn off their lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change and demonstrate that people are ready to take personal action. 

 At Bayview Hill ES, our "Earth Hour" is from 2pm to 3pm today.  All essential lights will be turned off as well as unused monitors and computers.  

On Saturday March 28 from 8:30 to 9:30pm, take this opportunity to spend time with family and friends celebrating Earth Hour. Find creative ways to spend an hour in the dark. For more information and ideas visit wwf Canada.  Let's all take action to bring awareness to conserving energy.
