Living Healthy Learning Well

Greetings from Trustee Carol Chan

As the 2014-15 school year winds down, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize our parents and guardians for their ongoing support of our students throughout the year. We know that parents are our most important partners when it comes to educating your children.  Good schools become better schools when they are connected with parents and families.

During the year, I hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy some of the many student performances, sporting events and cultural celebrations that take place in schools across our region. These events would not take place without the support of our school staff. I would like to thank the staff for their work to support student achievement and well-being.

Summer is a great time to relax and pursue hobbies or activities that complement the learning that took place over the school year. Whether you visit a museum, enjoy nature or just catch up on some summer reading, I wish you and your family a safe and enjoyable summer.

Trustee, Carol Chan

Thanks to BHES Community

This year Ms. Sluser's Grade 6 class with our grade 3s planned and organized a bake sale for 4 days last week.   $5209.50 was raised! This means that Connie's chemo is now fully funded.  When the Director of the New Day Foster Home heard the total, all she could say was "WOW, WOW, WOW!" On behalf of 6C, the Grade 3s and the New Day Foster Home, thank you for all the contributions, both monetarily and with baked goods.  Connie now has a fighting chance.

BHES PanAm Torch Bearer

Congratulations to one of our BHES Grade 8 students!  Megan Kesner has been selected as a PanAm Torch Bearer in Richmond Hill (torch bearer # 77).  Megan will be carrying the torch on Wednesday, June 24^th around 5:34pm starting at 160 Avenue Road, Richmond Hill (near the Richvale Community Centre) for 200 m.  It will likely be the slowest 200m that Megan will ever run!  This is such an exciting opportunity for her.  It would great if some of our BHES families could be there to cheer her on.
