Hello Brownridge,

Our students have worked very hard preparing the Brownridge Snack Store for tomorrow (Thursday). Our grad fundraising committee is selling Kernels popcorn and cookies this Thursday (tomorrow) at morning recess. Popcorn is $2 per bag (flavours are cheese, ketchup, salt and vinegar, caramel, and butter/salt) and cookies are $1.50.

After this week the snack store will be open every Wednesday in the front foyer and in front of the learning commons (library). All monies raised are used to offset the cost of the grade eight graduation and the grade eight grad trip.

Thanks! The Brownridge Team

Our Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits. ​We look forward to seeing you there. Remember, all purchases benefit our school library!

5. It is getting colder outside. In order to enjoy the fresh air, students should dress appropriately so they stay warm during morning and lunch recess. Please note: If a child is too sick to go outside they are too sick to come to school.
