Kids Helping Kids – Donations this Friday in the front foyer

On May 27th Langley Firefighters will be picking up clothing donations from participating Langley schools to help fund the School Snack Program, one of their charitable causes. In partnership with the Langley School District Foundation, the Kids Helping Kids Clothing Drive is helping to support a much needed food program for students in Langley. Richard Bulpitt Elementary is signed up and ready to go! Start scouring those closets, Bulldogs!

Early Start to Summer Holidays???

If your student(s) are going to be starting summer holidays sooner than the last day of school (June 29)  It is very important to let the office and your teacher(s) know.

• • Please email (click HERE to inform us by email) with the name(s) of your student(s) and what dates they will be away from school.

Before you go, please make sure you take all your student’s cloakroom items and materials .  Any items not picked up they will be donated or recycled.

Information about the upcoming Spring Performance

The students and staff are very busy preparing for our Spring Concert to be held on June 8 1:00pm, June 9, 1:00pm and 6:30pm.   In order to ensure that all of of our families are able to enjoy the students’ hard work, admission to each of our performances will be by PRE-ISSUED TICKETS ONLY on School Cash Online.

There is no cost for the tickets  https://sd35.schoolcashonline.com/

*****If you have more than one student you will only see tickets under one child’s account.*****

Because we have almost 600 students, tickets per family will be limited.

Ticket Limits – 2 tickets per family at the 6:00 pm performance, and 4 tickets per family for the 1:00pm performances. This is to ensure all families receive tickets to the performances.

Alternative Fundraiser

Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19 we have been limited in the ability to hold regular events to fundraise for our staff and students. This year the PAC would like to offer parents a new way to donate directly to the PAC, for those who do not wish to purchase goods or have limited time to participate in events.

A direct donation of $40 would be the equivalent to your child raising $275 through fundraising activities (Purdy’s, Neufelds, etc.).   Funds raised go towards supporting teachers in their classrooms, busses for field trips, programs such as Dance Pl3y, Saleema Noon and more!

If you wish to make a direct donation, please send an e-transfer to bulpittpac@outlook.com with direct donation in the Message line.  Please note, at this time we are unable to provide tax receipts.

Thank you to those who have contributed!

Next General Meeting

Don’t forget our AGM and PAC Elections will be held on Monday, June 6 at 7pm in the Library.  If you are interested in becoming a member of our PAC, please email to bulpittpac@outlook.com.

Quote(s) of the week

Something to Read or Watch…

• We do land acknowledgements daily at RBE with students recognizing that we live, learn and play on the unceded lands of the Matsqui, Kwantlen, Katzie and Semiahmoo First Nations. Our kids are learning why it’s important to say so. A student in West Vancouver made the Land Acknowledgements the topic of her capstone project, and what she found is really interesting.
• Today is the anniversary of the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the site of the former Kamloops Residential School. There was a memorial today.
