HEALTH AND SAFETY Just a reminder Brant Christian is a peanut/nut free school. Please ensure that students are not bringing food with peanuts or tree nuts as part of their ingredient list as we do have several students who have severe peanut/nut allergies. Thank you for your consideration in keeping all of our students safe.
Brant Community Clean Up We had a busy week at Brant Christian last week, that ended with the opportunity to bless our Brantian residents with some leaf raking. It was great to see our younger students working alongside the “olders” as we tried to put a dent in the massive accumulation of leaves that fall from the many trees in Brant. We need to acknowledge all the hard work, but also the creativity of our students in the variety of full-body dives into the leaf piles. Special thanks goes out to all those who loaned their rakes as well as for the use of Anderson’s vehicle and the Djikstra’s trailer.
AFTER SCHOOL PICK UP For safety reasons, we would like to ask parents who pick up young children after school, to please refrain from driving into the parking lot while students are making their way to their buses.
Business Class Bake Sale Our Grade 10 Entrepreneurial Foundations class put on a bake sale last Friday, October 18. The offerings were all original and very yummy. All proceeds are going to purchase a new Cricut machine that helps our students produce all sorts of amazing products.
The Great Grad Brant Bottle Drive This year’s grad class “Class of 2025” is organizing some fundraisers and one of the major fundraisers will be a bottle drive. Brant Christian Grad has been added as an account at both the Okotoks and High River Bottle Depots. So when you drop off your bottles, just ask them to put the funds under Brant Christian and you will be supporting the grad “Class of 2025”! Thanks so much:)

Volleyball Update In volleyball this week, our senior boys and girls both played against Foothills Composite High. The Comp won both games, but it is worth noting that the girls won a set which was the first time any team in the league took a game off the Okotoks based team. The girls however were victorious over Edison earlier in the week. Our Junior A boys played well against John Paul II, but unfortunately, fell to a very strong opponent. Our Junior Varsity boys were not in action.
