Hello Peace Bridge Families
Friday, October 11 is a P.A. Day. There is no school for students as all staff are participating in professional development.
All Star Students
Each week 3-5 students are recognized as All Star students. These students are nominated by their teachers for demonstrating outstanding growth in their learning. At each Monday’s virtual assembly, the nominated student’s names are read aloud for the school to recognize them. Each All-Star Student is awarded with their own Peace Bridge All Star Student t-shirt which they can wear proudly about the school!
Colour House
Thursday, October 10 is the first Colour House. All students are being placed into their Colour House groups which is a mix of all grade levels. There are 2 staff members supervising each group. Colour House groups will be participating in Fall/Harvest team building activities both inside and outside beginning at 1:45-3pm. Students who were in Colour Houses last year should wear their t-shirt on this day. Students who are new to Peace Bridge this year will be given their Colour House t-shirt on Thursday.
Cyber Awareness Month
October is Cyber Awareness Month, and some classes will be completing activities to increase student’s knowledge around safety while online. For families, are you aware the app Snapchat is for teens over the age of 13. There have been incidents at Peace Bridge where students under 13years of age have the app on their personal device and used it inappropriately.

Bingo Volunteering Edition
By offering a small amount of your time, you can make a BIG difference.
Charity License and Bingo Revenue
Peace Bridge Public School is fortunate to have a charity license that provides the school with the opportunity to earn revenue for student enrichment. Our charity license is maintained by attending bingo as volunteers at our local Delta – Uncle Sam’s Bingo Hall. The money that is raised through volunteering benefits the entire school. School Council works together to make creative decisions and purchases with the bingo profits to benefit our students.

This opportunity is unique to our community and we need your support! Please consider becoming a volunteer representative for our school at our scheduled Bingo assignments. You can reach out to pbr@dsbn.org to receive additional information about assignment dates and how you can become involved.

Purchases Made with Bingo Revenue
Our school was recently able to purchase a class set of Chromebooks with money raised through bingo volunteering. With this purchase, the DSBN will include this set of Chromebooks with the regularly scheduled technology upgrades for the school. These devices provide access to valuable parts of the student’s curriculum. This was a substantial purchase that would not have been possible without our volunteers and the additional funds that were earned through our participation at our bingo assignments.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about this excellent opportunity!

Welcome to Kindergarten- DSBN
Peace Bridge Public School is very fortunate to receive charitable funding by volunteering at our local Delta Uncle Sam’s Bingo Hall.

The benefits that are offered through this initiative provide our students with various enrichment opportunities that support clubs and competitions, athletic programs, assemblies, presentations, transportation for trips and sporting events and many other resources as determined at our regular meetings.
