Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser Began Today!

The Heart and Stroke Foundation representatives visited Beddington Heights School to kick off our Jump Rope for Heart fundraising event.  

Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to get active by skipping.  A skipping rope has been provided to help all students have access to this great heart smart physical activity.  Mr. Sadowsky will be helping all Beddington Heights students develop a positive attitude about activity while learning a variety of tricks and skills.  

Throughout the fundraiser, students will be collecting pledges to help support the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  Any pledge amount is gratefully accepted and students can record their pledges on the pledge sheets that were sent home.

Last year, we raised $4500.00 and the students felt they could reach this goal again!  We appreciate any support families provide to this important cause!!!

Synrevoice Phone Messaging System

At Beddington Heights, we have been looking at adding additional ways to increase communication with our school community.  You will be receiving a phone message (and possibly an email if it has been provided to the school) informing you about how this system will work.  Your child has also brought home a letter that provides more information.  (You can click HERE to view an electronic version.)  We hope that this will help provide you timely information about any absences, special events, upcoming events, or other things you might need to know.  If you have had any change in your contact information, please call 403-777-6610 and dial 0 so we can ensure we have the most up to date phone numbers or email addresses that you would like to have connected.  Thank you!
