December 20, 2023
It’s that time of year when we see a rise in illnesses impacting students and staff in our school. We are hearing from families about colds, respiratory illnesses, and stomach bugs circulating in our community. As a reminder to help keep our school community healthy and well, we are sharing this online resource from our community partner Fraser Health. Here you will find information about protecting your child from communicable diseases and managing their illnesses: https://www.fraserhealth.ca/health-topics-a-to-z/school-health/illness-and-immunizations/illness-in-the-classroom
Tomorrow we will have our traditional ‘Breakfast with Santa’, commencing at 9:15am in the Gym. As in years past, donations will be accepted at this breakfast. We would encourage each child to bring $2 as a donation; these funds will go to support our Blacklock Families Christmas Hampers. It is also Pajama or Grinch colour day!
There are many articles of clothing that have been left behind this Fall. Please take some time to stop in either before or after school to go through the Lost and Found items that are laid out in the hallway outside the Gym. Anything that has not been claimed by Thursday, December 21, will be donated to a local charity.
If your child will be absent from school for any reason, please remember to let us know either by phone 604-530-3188 or by e-mail at BFAAttendanceVoicemail@sd35.bc.ca
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Susanna Eppich, Principal
