We would like to wish all of our RBES Mommas a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! May your kiddos and your other family members spoil you rotten!

Are you one of this week's featured Students of the Week?

If you are one of our Students of the Week, watch for your certificate in the mail!

We were so excited to see so many students participate in our HATS ON FOR MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGE! It was so great to "SEE" so many of you!

Mrs. Stanski's MUSIC SITE!

If you are looking for some fun activities for your kids - check out Mrs. Stanski's "Welcome to Music" site! You will find lots of links including "Just Sing" and "Just Weird"! There are so many great music and dance videos grouped by grades. Mrs. Stanski updates her site every week. It is so easy to find fun and educational videos that your entire family will enjoy. Have you ever seen a toothbrush and a typewriter make music together? Go check out Mrs. Stanski's site and you will! Also, if you are interested in connecting with Mrs. Stanski over Goolge Meet; please email her at colleen.stanski@blackgold.ca. She would love to hear from you!

Last year's yearbooks will be arriving shortly and we will make arrangements to send them out to you, drop them off, or arrange a pick up. Thank you for your patience with this past yearbook. It was one thing after another that caused many delays, but it went to the printer a few weeks ago and we are expecting delivery very soon.

2019 - 2020 yearbooks are now on sale and will be added to your PowerSchool account for you to purchase. If you would like a yearbook for this current year, you will need to have your order in by June 1, 2020. The good news is this one will be ready for delivery on time as we have a few people working on it already. The yearbook will also feature a pandemic section and include photos of students working from home and any special theme days that we have from this time. We thought it was important to highlight and remember what our reality was during this historical time.

Don't forget to check out our Raptor Chats each week. Mr. Coffin and Mrs. Kloschinsky both really enjoy hearing from you all afterwards!
