June is finally here and is jam-packed with exciting learning activities and celebrations. Please be sure to check your emails, the Birchmount Families Facebook page and the school website for important events.
Walk-A-Thon
June 14 is our Annual Walk-A-Thon Fundraiser. This is our major fundraiser of the year. We hope to raise $12 000 this year, which is only $20 per Birchmount Bear. That money will go towards upgrading our sound system in our gymnasium which will help with assemblies, presentations, drama, concerts, dances, movie nights, and many more school activities. Students went home with pledge envelopes on Friday and a link is now available on SchoolCash. If you have a business or know of a business that would like to make a donation, tax receipts are available for donations over $25.
Field Day
Mr. Nowlan has been busy planning our fun Field Days. Students in grades 6-8 will participate on Monday and students in grades K-5 will participate on Tuesday. Please be sure to dress for the weather, wear sunscreen and bring water. Please note that bathing suits are not appropriate outfits for school!
Global Culture Day
Thursday June 6th is the Global Culture Day Celebration at Birchmount! On this day we will recognize and celebrate the diverse cultures we are lucky to have at our school. Students are encouraged to wear their traditional clothing, or dress in the colours that represent their country. We look forward to seeing all of the beautiful diversity of our school on display next Thursday, June 6th!
Home and School Family Movie Night
Our Home and School is hosting our final Family Movie Night, “Migration,” on Friday, June 7 at 6PM. Admission is $2 each and there will be a cash canteen available. A big thank you to our Home and School for organizing and hosting our Family Movie Nights all year long.
