Happy Friday Bayside!
Just a quick update after a very short week!
Reminders and Updates:
Class Pictures and Retakes Day: Tuesday November 19 is photo retakes day as well as class photo day. Bring your smiles!
Food Bank Drive: Our grade 5 team has begun their November Food Bank Drive for the Calgary Food Bank. All students are invited to bring non-perishable food items during the month of November. For every 5 boxes filled with items, our grade 5s will plan a fun spirit day for everyone to participate in!
Bayside Swag: Check out the new Bayside clothes on sale now! So far, our sales are a little low and we need a few more orders to ensure we can meet the minimum to place our order. If you were planning on ordering but just haven’t gotten around to it, now is the time!
Store is open until November 20th. Orders arrive December 18th!
