Beautiful Savior Lutheran School
May 5, 2014

May 30 is our Wellness Series Part 3 – MONKEY BUSINESS with a Literacy Focus.  There will be a puppet show and literacy stations.  Everyone up to the age of 5 are welcome to attend with their parents.  Please pass on the information if you know anyone interested.  The event runs from 9-10:15 in the gym.


BSLS is having its 2nd Read – A – Thon.  The read-a-thon will be on Wednesday, May 28 when the entire school will read together.  Students will receive pledge forms on May 14th and will have 2 weeks to gather pledges.  There are many prizes for students to win!  We will also be having a Scholastic Book Fair, in the school, where they will have many books on display for students and parents to purchase.  Books can also be ordered.  Please see the attachments for more information.

We still have spaces in our kindergarten class and our grade 7/8 class for 2014-15.  If you know of anyone who would be interested in our school, please pass them our information and let me know and I would be happy to talk to them.  Our best recruitment strategy is the word of mouth of our current families, so we thank you in advance.

Evening of the Arts is on Wednesday, May 28 at 6:30.  This is our spring concert for our music programs and all students participate in the evening.  It is an expectation that the students attend.  If there is some reason why a student is unable to attend, please contact Mr. Badiuk at bbadiuk@bsls.ca as soon as possible so that he can plan.  The band is especially susceptible to a different sound if students are unable to attend.  Please bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on while enjoying the concert. (wine raffle draw is at 7 pm)

Ascension Day Service is on Thursday, May 29 at 5:30 at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church (1541 St. Mary’s Road).  Intention and commitment forms have been sent home and are required to be turned in by the end of the week.

As a fundraiser for the school, we are selling Lacoste Garden Centre (2787 St. Mary’s Road) gift cards again.  The gift cards can be bought in $20 or $50 denominations.  Just as with the Sobey’s gift cards, if you buy a $20 card, you can spend $20 at Lacoste.  The school receives 15% on the total sales!  All orders must be returned by May 9.  The cards will be delivered to the school the week of May 12. 

Wine Raffle tickets are still available for pick up in the office from Mrs. Madden.  We would like each family to try to sell at least one book of 25.  We only have 4 books left.  If you have any books out that you don’t believe you will completely sell, please return to the office.  The Raffle tickets are $2 each and if we sell all books, we will raise $5000!  Thank you for your help!
