It was a huge success due to family member volunteers and our council members.

BCPS is building our future leaders! BCPS has been a busy place where our students are taking on a variety of leadership roles! There are a few extra-curricular student-led activities that are taking place such as a dance and a knitting club. Coding club is in the works as well. Student voice is active where students are planning and actively navigating content with educator supervision. Our Kindness LEADS have been in training for the past week to understand how their leadership roles will support students on the yard, to help with jobs around the school such as pizza, booster juice etc. Healthy Snack is also another area where students are handing out snacks with guidelines and all students are quite enthusiastic to take on these roles!

Dear BCPS Families, October is here and students are fully engaged in many routines and many instructional activities. The last week of September was a busy and productive week for our students and educators here at BCPS. It was a pleasure to welcome and meet all our families at our Meet our Educators Night. We hope you were able to visit your student’s classroom and understand how the learning environment is set up. If you were unable to attend, there will be Family-Educator Interviews that will take place in November to get a better understanding of your student’s achievement. Thank you to School Council for organizing a bbq where families were able to reconnect and connect. Classes honoured the learning and reflected on National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Classes read stories and engaged in activities/discussions that focused on initiatives to work toward reconciliation. This is something staff and students will be engaging in all year long.

Dear BCPS friends and families, The Terry Fox National Schools Run Day at Bells Corners P.S. this year will be on Friday, September 22, 2023. Every year thousands of children lace up their running shoes to walk and run to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research. To date, over $850 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry's name. At BCPS, we are proud to be part of this great cause! Last year our school raised a bit over $1300. Our goal this year is to at least match this amount. The following is a link to our school’s fundraising page: https://schools.terryfox.ca/BellsCornersPSNepean Let’s keep Terry’s dream alive and show our Bulldog spirit! All this week we are accepting donations for the Canadian Cancer Society. You can bring your coins to school or donate online - no amount is too little, every cent counts!

What a great first week of school! Educators and students were excited to get the school year started. Educators have been working on creating community within their classrooms and throughout the school. The most important aspect of the first few weeks of school is establishing routines, understanding expectations, and enjoying the space they will be spending the next 10 months in. This week in our daily announcements, the theme has been about “new beginnings”. A new school year brings on new goals and a fresh start to shine. Many of our walls in our halls share positive messages to our students about this year being “their year”.
