    SCHOOL COUNCIL

    The School Council is an advisory committee that works together to provide ideas and opinions to help the principal.  The School Council meets to discuss the educational needs of our students, review the school budget, and review the school’s improvement plan. The School Council members consist of our school principal, several teachers, parents, and community members. We are looking for more parents to be part of our School Council! It’s a great way to get involved and help to make our wonderful school even better! We meet once per month for one hour. If you are interested, please contact our Principal, Cathy Milne

    THE GARDEN COMMITTEE

    Have you seen our amazing garden?  We have 30 raised vegetable garden beds and a shed full of tools materials. The mission of our garden is to provide an outdoor classroom where children can work cooperatively and  learn about nature and where their  food comes from.

    The Garden Committee works with students and teachers to make learning meaningful! Our students help with:  building garden boxes, moving soil, planting seeds, weeding, watering, harvesting, and of course tasting!

    The BCIS School Garden is looking for volunteers to help– no experience needed. We are looking for Garden Committee members who can organize a team to clean up the garden, make repairs, and make the space ready for little gardeners! 

    To learn more, please contact Andrea Burnett.
