MARCH 2010

Dear Parents,

March Break 2010

A reminder for parents and students that our March Break will begin on March 15th and conclude March, 26th. Students will return to school on Monday March, 29th.

Bedford Academy Supports Haiti Relief

As has been its history, Bedford Academy once again rose to the occasion with charitable relief for those in need. Through a school fund raiser, $5300.00 was raised and donated to the Director of the Red Cross who were coordinating the school relief effort for Haiti.

Commander Chris Hache Presents Slides

Grades Three to Nine were fortunate to have as their guest Commander Chris Hache who recently returned from a tour of duty in Haiti. Commander Hache shared slides he prepared of the devastation he witnessed firsthand in Port Aux Prince. Fate played a role in his safe return as he arrived in Haiti a mere two hours before the earthquake. Due to delays at the airport he was not in his base residence when the quake struck. That building was completely destroyed during the disaster and resulted in many deaths, some being some fellow Canadians stationed there.

Broncos Playoffs

Congratulations to our three teams with their impressive victories over the weekend in winning their Division League Championships. Our Mini Boys, Mini Girls and Bantam basketball teams “owned the podium” and received their medals and trophies proudly on behalf of the school. Congratulations to Coaches Bell, Haliburton, Narvos and Whitney for an outstanding job. A special banner ceremony will take place in April to commemorate this athletic achievement
