Community Outreach News
Over the last few weeks students have raised $1738.20 from our Terry Fox Run, and the Children In Action group raised $253.25 for the Daily Bread Food Bank. We would like to thank our students and their families for their on-going support of charitable organizations in our community.

Go Girls – For girls in grades 6 to 8 to learn about healthy
living and building self-esteem
Hip Hop Dance Club (grades 4 to 6)

Thanks to our teachers for their dedication to making BHES
extra-curricular activities an exciting part of our time here each day. This
list is always changing and growing, so encourage your children to keep their
ears open for the announcements for information about more clubs and teams as
the year goes on.

Community Ambassador
The YRDSB is partnering again this year, with Family Service
Association of York Region to provide Community Ambassador Training for parents
in our Richmond Hill schools. We
successfully piloted this project in Richmond Hill 2 years ago and have since
taken it to Markham and Vaughan. The Regional Municipality of York has seen the benefits of supporting parents to take
a more active role in both their schools and communities and have decided to
provide funding for this initiative. We will be running the program out of CEC Central for 8 Fridays beginning on November 4th and running until the end of January. If you are interested in this opportunity, please read the information flyer below and contact Leena directly.
International Baccalaureate Program Information Evening

assessment. Students who complete the program earn both an Ontario Secondary
