Aaron
Burnett performed at our school on Jan. 30 and we are in the Lance!
Our grade 3 violinists performed with him for one of his songs and we
also had a number of students who helped him do the actions to many of his
songs with the rest of the children. You can see the article on the internet at
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/our-communities/lance/Wheres-thar-raccoon-243594051.html or check it out in last weeks’ Lance.

well. The students were quite excited
and enjoyed the first lesson. Mad
Science continues until Spring Break.
Fundraising Reminders:
The wine raffle letter went home on Friday. We will be doing the draw at the Evening of
the Arts. So, to get prepared for, we
are asking that families bring in a
bottle of wine or two. If your bottle of
wine that you donate to the school is over $20, please bring in a receipt and
you will get a charitable donation receipt for that amount. Thank you in advance for supporting our
fundraising. We are hoping to raise
$5000 thru the wine raffle fundraiser and the money will be put towards
finishing the south playground.
Please remember to mention us at
the St. Annes M & M’s whenever
you make any purchases there (we will receive 10%) and bring in your Tassimo
disks. Tassimo disks can be turned in to the office.

BASC parents: When you are at the door to be buzzed in, please
state your name clearly and the names who you are picking up (your child(ren). If it is unclear through the intercom, you
will be asked to repeat yourself. If,
for some reason, it cannot be clearly understood, a staff member will come up
to see you at the door before letting you in.
We ask for your patience and understanding in this matter as this is to
ensure the safety of the children in our care.
We also please ask that you do not let anyone else in the building
without announcing it. It may seem
polite to hold the door open for the next person, but to maintain the safe
environment for our children, we need all parents to announce themselves
through the intercom. We thank you for
your assistance in this matter immediately.
When dropping off your child in
the morning, please only park to the right of the PIP Reserved spot in the back
or in the front of the school on the street.
(Do not block the crosswalk) The
staff need the parking spots by the building to plug in their cars for the
day. We thank you for your understanding
and cooperation.
PIP News
Our new sign for the parking stall has arrived and is

There will be a Spring Supper Planning Committee meeting on February
11, at 7pm at Barb Wierckx’s home, 183 Pilgrim Avenue. All are invited to attend. The March 22 BSLS Spring Supper is PIP’s
