The School Council Family BBQ was a huge success last night. With the great weather there was a big turnout and everyone had their fill of hamburgers, hot dogs and watermelon. We can’t thank the Knights of Columbus enough for all the work they did and the parent and student volunteers who made the evening run so smoothly. We even had our own DJ and balloon animal station which was a popular stop. It was definitely a great way to start the school year.

Just under 4 hours to go before the big School Council Family BBQ! The BBQ has arrived and has been cleaned up and tested so we are good to go. We are lucky enough to have the Knights of Columbus cooking hamburgers and hot dogs this evening and it looks like the weather should be great. Here’s hoping we have a great turn out.

Time to grab that hair gel for the boys, curling irons and hairspray for the girls - tomorrow (Thursday, September 15th) is school picture day.

Today was our first hot lunch day at Ecole Good Shepherd School. This group of parent volunteers are amazing. They put in so much work over the course of the year. So many parents say how much they appreciate this so they get at least one day off from making lunches.

Cross your fingers for nice weather! This coming Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. our School Council will be hosting a Back to School Family BBQ here at the school. This will be a great way to meet other families in the Good Shepherd Community. Hamburgers, hot dogs and watermelon will be supplied so grab a drink and join us here in the gym. We are looking forward to a great turn out.

We invite everyone to join us this Thursday for our beginning of the year mass at St. James Parish beginning at 10:00 a.m. As this will require busing, please remember to login to your school cash online account and sign your childs permission form so that can attend. If you run into any problems please contact Desiree Chimera here at the school. This is also the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary so we are encouraging everyone to wear blue on Thursday.

First bus of the year has rolled into the parking lot! Seeing all the kids coming out with big smiles on their faces, all excited to get started totally validates why we all chose to be teachers. This is going to be a amazing year!

To help ease the transition into the first day of school we are once again pleased to be hosting an open house the day before school begins. This open house will take place on Tuesday, August 30th from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. and is a great opportunity to meet (and have your child meet) their new teacher, find the location of their new homeroom, and drop off your child's school supplies. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Summer is coming to an end and the office at École Good Shepherd School is now officially open. If you still need to register your child for school please contact the school and we would be happy to help you out!

What a last day!!! Mr. Lendvay and the teachers threw a dance party for the classes in the gym to celebrate. So much joy and fun! Here is a look into the grade K-2 dance party!

The grade sixes had an amazing first day out at SABC. Between gaga ball, lazertag, the climbing wall and the giant swing (along with a ton of other activities) the enthusiasm was super high. Day 2 here we come!

Mrs. Harding seems to be quite a trusting soul… (she claims “this is the water fountain at the Telus Spark Science Centre”.). I think I might have just stayed thirsty!

When our grade threes got back from the Telus Spark Science Centre today we asked them if they had a good day or a great day? They responded that they had an amazing day! We love it when that is their reaction to going on a field trip!

On Monday our grade one classes had a field great trip to Granary Road. They all came back talking about how much fun they had. Here are some pictures of their trip.

Here are a few more videos from this afternoons division one talent show.

Not to be outdone by all our little superstars , our grade one teachers showed the kids they still have a few moves of their own!

The weather co-operated a lot more this week as our grade fours were able to head to Heritage Park for their year-end field trip. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun!

Here are a few more pictures from the grade fours field trip to Heritage Park today.

In kindergarten today, Q and U got married and we celebrated all words Q et U (because of course, they are always together) Mlle Coles helped officiate the wedding and all of her grade 5s helped the kindergarteners with the ceremony.
