Dear Belfast Families,

It was a short, but busy week here at Belfast School with our "Bunch of Munsch" plays in full rehearsal mode: the costumes are ready, the props are made, and the backdrops all painted. We can't wait to share these class performances with you next week!

We wanted to remind families that we will be having two performances each day. Due to capacity constraints in our gym, evening performances are limited to 2 adults per student. Physical tickets will be sent home early next week for the performances and must be shown at the door for admittance. Additional family members are invited to attend the afternoon performances.

We also wanted to remind families that Monday is a Professional Development day and there is no school for students. We will see you Tuesday morning!

As always, please check out our school Instagram account (@BelfastSchoolcbe) or our school website to see pictures from the week.

Next Week: A Bunch of Munsch Spring Performances!

We will be having our Spring Performances May 31 and June 1. Our "Bunch of Munsch!" Production will see each class turn a Robert Munsch story into a play. Mr. Ursenbach and classroom teachers have been helping students learn their lines, get their costumes ready, and understand their stage directions.

Save the Date: School-wide Fun Run

On Thursday, June 15 at 1:30 PM, our entire school will be participating in an Ever Active Fun Run! Ms. Tuck has been leading Run Club for months now, and because our school has this Run Club, we qualified to host this special Ever Active Fun Run event.

There will be music, prizes, and lots of cheering. We invite parents to come out and join in on the fun. More information will be shared closer to the date.

Grade 5/6 Outdoor School is Coming Up!

Grade 5/6 parents, a friendly reminder that fees for Outdoor School should be paid before the start of the trip. Please call the office if you need support with the fee payment.

Next Year is Already Exciting!

Thank you to our generous Belfast community and School Council, we have been able to book events for next year. To date, we already have secured Alien Inline Skating, Elev8 Lacrosse, Rocks and Rings, Fitset Ninja, and Winsport Skiing/Snowboarding. Our hope is to bring back Belfasty days (community building, mixed grade activities) and to have Healthy Hunger Fun Lunches return as well (we need a parent leader for this one). We have secured an author visit through a grant and we are so excited to annouce that we have been selected for "Let's Create an Opera" through Calgary Opera. "Let's Create an Opera" is a year-long, whole-school project that culminates in a completely original opera performance. For more information, you can check out Calgary Opera's website .
