Dear Braeside Families, 

Wow!!! The White Elephant Sale was a HUGE success!!!  Thank you to everyone who donated items and volunteered their time to organize, set up, wrap and clean-up.  The students were very excited to pick out gifts for their family members and have them wrapped.  Thank you for your support with this School Council event and fundraiser.   

Our School Development Plan (SDP) has been posted on our School Website (link here).  Please visit the website and read through our whole school focus.  You can also read through some of the different data sets we used to help determine where our students are at in their learning and narrow down our focus for the year.   

The 2025 – 2026 CBE School Calendar has been published on the main CBE website.  Please visit this link for more information.  You will notice on the calendar that school does not start next year until September 2.  

Please note that next Friday will be our last school day before Winter Break and that students are encouraged to dress “festive”.  We will be starting the school day with a dance party in the learning commons at 7:50 so please make sure your child is here before 8:00 so they can participate.  The whole week will likely be very exciting as we have scheduled our North Pole news and festive singing each day and we have a Fun Lunch on Thursday. 

Thank you again for donating to the White Elephant sale!  Students enjoyed it! 

Enjoy the weekend, 

Fiona Johnson and Melanie Bennett
