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 at approximately 10:30 am.  Students have received pledge forms and they are due on Monday, May 26.  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.  The book fair will be open Monday – Thursday during AM and PM recesses as well as lunch from 12 – 12:45.  It will also be opened Wed. night (Evening of the Arts) from 5:30-6:15 and 7:30 – 8:15. 

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).  Students are asked to be here by 6:00 pm.
