The (Last) Weekly June 22 to June 25 2026
We have had a really busy week. Beach day, celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day, and now Fun Fair!
A big congratulations is in order. Two students in Div. 10 came in first place for grades 1-5 in the EGBC-SD71 Bridge Building Competition. Their bridge supported the heaviest load, an impressive 52.93 kg. Students in Div. 13 built a structure that supported the 5th heaviest load, an impressive 23.96 kg. Div. 10 students were also awarded a “best of the rest” for their structure, which supported 11.66 kg.
Great work all!
Last day of school is June 25th with an 11:50 dismissal.
