Brant Auction This week’s big fundraising news was the Annual Brant Christian School Auction held last night at the High River Memorial Centre. The theme was “Mexican Fiesta” and as a firsthand witness, I can say a good time was had by all. A big thank you goes out to so many who made the night a great success. First and foremost, Erin Neimans and her amazing army of volunteers did a fabulous job organizing the donations and transforming the Memorial Centre into a Mexican party room. Gracias to our high schoolers who babysat to allow our families to enjoy an evening out and to the game hosts who tested our skills from lassoing to “pin-the-tail-on-the-burro”. Our sponsors, parents, grandparents and friends of Brant Christian were very generous with estimated funds raised to support technology and equipping the new portable for future learning stand at well over $30,000. We’ll have the final total later this week, when all the donations have been tabulated. Thanks goes out to everyone in the Brant community who made this night possible. Muchas gracias y gloria a Dios!
WINTER CLOTHING DRIVE With the cold weather of winter fast approaching, our Grade 10 Entrepreneurship class is organizing a winter clothing drive. If you have any lightly used or new winter clothing you are willing to donate, please bring it to school by Thursday, November 14. If you have any questions, or need more information, please phone or text 403-336-2781.
HEALTH AND SAFETY REMINDER 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.
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.
Volleyball Update Our volleyball teams are rushing toward the end of the season with all our teams competing in their respective league playoffs. Next week also sees our teams vying for a spot in the South Zone qualifiers. There are lots of games on tap, so be sure that students are all caught up on their school work and get lots of sleep! Go Eagles Go!
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:)
