Hello Bert Edwards Families,
We hope this finds you well and healthy. Our Annual Heart and Stroke Jump Rope for Heart campaign for this year has begun! Our goal is to fundraise $3000 as a school for the Heart and Stroke Foundation! Can you help us achieve our goal? Below is the link for our school fundraising page, where you can sign up your child as a participant. Here is the newsletter that went home that talks about the rewards available to students who fundraise, including different levels of Gift Certificates. We are also tracking our EASY Healthy Habits! The school with the most Healthy Habits tracked has a chance to win $5000 to go towards gym and active living equipment! So make sure to log in every day to track your child's Healthy Habit for the day! Please note there are NO paper copies of the pledge forms going home this year - it is all being done online. Thank you for all your support!

![]() Has anyone else noticed a decided lack of bees this spring or is it just me? My neighbour has a towering huge tree covered in white blossoms that positively vibrates with bees in the spring. There are often so many that I can hear them from my house three doors down. But not this year. According to the USDA, research on the possible causes of bee population decline is currently ongoing and factors include parasites and pests, pathogens, poor nutrition, climate change and sublethal exposure to pesticides. Bees not only pollinate crops humans eat, they also pollinate a wide variety of plants that other animals rely on. If bees became extinct, it would cause a domino effect in terms of ecosystem destruction. If you'd like to do your part to help our friendly neighbourhood bees, plant flower gardens, refrain from using pesticides, and create bee water fountains. Save the bees, save the planet!
