The BHES MILK program needs you!

The BHES School Council runs the milk program, a nutritious lunchtime program for our students.   A parent volunteer coordinates the program and other parents volunteer to help run the program during the lunchtime at school.  We are in need of a parent volunteer who would be able to coordinate the program for the 2015/2016 school year.  If you are interested in this position and would like more information, please email the school at bayview.hill.es@yrdsb.ca .  Thank you for your consideration. Unfortunately, if we do not have a coordinator for the program, it cannot run.

Earth Day is Everyday!

This Wednesday, April 22 is Earth Day! The Eco team has organized an Earth Day cleanup of BHES grounds.  All grades will participate in caring for our schoolyard and beyond by taking responsibility for the litter that we and others have created.  In addition, members of our Eco team will visit classrooms, reminding all of us to shut off lights and electronics when not in use or necessary,  to bring litterless snacks/lunches in reusable containers to reduce garbage and recycling, to conserve water and respect our planet's resources. Students are encouraged to walk or ride their bikes to school on a regular basis to reduce pollution created by car exhaust and to promote a healthy lifestyle. 

Our messaging everyday needs to be to take care of our Earth, it is the only one we have! 

Spirit Day Thursday April 23

BHES Band Performs for Senior's Residence

On Wednesday, Ms. Steenburgh and Ms. Leong accompanied our BHES Band members to the Oak Ridge's Senior's Home.  It was an afternoon of mutual appreciation.  After the student's repertoire was completed, the Seniors in the audience wanted "more music!".  Thank you to our teachers and students for giving back to the community.

School-wide Clean up April 22!

Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22! The BHES Eco Club has organized a school-wide Earth Day cleanup of the BHES schoolyard and surrounding public space. Each grade will be responsible for picking up litter in a designated area.  In an effort to make the cleanup as eco-friendly as possible, we ask that parents send in reusable gloves for your child to use for the cleanup.  These can be fabric gardening or work gloves, or even stretchy mittens or an old pair of winter mitts/gloves.  Please note that students will only be picking up dry pieces of garbage so the gloves that you send in can be brought home again and reused. Students will also be informed about things that they should not pick up. The cleanup will take place throughout the day on April 22, with a rain date scheduled for April 23.  Thank you for your cooperation!  - The Eco Club
