Dear Braeside Families

We hope this finds you well.  Thank you to all the families who attended the School Council AGM on Tuesday night.  It was great to see so many new faces join the group!  A HUGE thank you to all the parents who have volunteered for council roles!  That was AMAZING! 

As a reminder, School Council will be hosting a Winter Fair on Thursday December 5.  As part of the Fair, they will be hosting a bake sale.  All proceeds from the sale will go towards supporting the grade 5 / 6 overnight trip in May.  Please consider donating baking to support the trip!  They are asking that baked goods be dropped off at the school the morning of December 5, be wrapped and ready to sell and have and have an ingredient list icluded.  If you have any questions, please reach out to Kyla Anderson at braesidechair@gmail.com.  At the Fair they will also be distributing Christmas Trees purchased by families, selling art and crafts items that your children have made and the Grades 1 – 3 choir will be singing.  There will be something for everyone!  Mark the day in your calendar!
