Parent and Family Weekly Update 

April 8-12 2024

Spring has finally sprung! There is no surer sign that the seasons have changed than the beginning of eight weeks of training for our annual Reconciliation Run Walk Wheel taking place in all SD8 schools in June. The run offers weekly teachings on this year’s theme of Health, Wellness, and Reconciliation, along with training tips and information for all the staff, students and families who participate.

Good Morning BK Families,

It's hard to believe that we are still officially in Winter considering the warm temperatures we have been receiving and will continue to receive over the next couple of weeks!  Unfortunately, these warmer temperatures have created a bit of a mud pit in our field and school grounds.  Work continues on the septic system and once I receive an update, I will pass it along to families.  Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

This past month has been a flurry of physical, intellectual, social and emotional learning in our six families of schools as students engaged in activities that stretched their skills, and exercised their understanding, leading us toward our upcoming spring break from March 18 to April 1. 

Good Morning Brent Kennedy Families,

I would like to begin by thanking all of those who helped with the Cake Bingo on Friday night, particularly our PAC executive and parent volunteers!  It was a fun night with great attendance!  Everyone looked like they were having a good time!  It was a full house!  Thank you for coming out to support our PAC and our school.  It’s great to see the community coming together.

We are nearing the 100th day of school and in primary grades, this is an important day of learning! All of our students are about halfway through the year, many have begun second semester, and everyone is in full learning mode in their classrooms, outdoors and in their communities. They are connecting with one another, sharing knowledge and experiences, embracing the world around them and working with educators to develop the skills they need to become lifelong learners.

Good Afternoon Brent Kennedy Families,

What a balmy week it was!  Unfortunately, that means icky snow, clogged drains, puddles and just a feeling of blah! As sent in a previous email today, we hope to have the field open sometime this week as the Operations crew work to install the new septic tanks.  Our students are super excited to get back to making their creations and sledding on the hill.

Good Afternoon Brent Kennedy Families,
