IMPORTANT SCHOOLWIDE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

MABEL'S LABELS FUNDRAISER
Bedford Academy is holding a fundraiser with Mabel's Labels which is a 
company that makes personalized labels to help kids keep track of their 
stuff. Their labels are dishwasher, microwave and laundry safe and even have 
cool icons to help little ones keep track of their belongings. They are 
perfect to label clothing and other items that your child will be bringing to 
daycare, school and summer camp.
 
This year's fundraiser is online so please follow the link 
www.bedfordacademy.mabelslabels.com to make your purchases. Bedford Academy 
will be credited with a portion of the sales which we will use to buy Math 
and Science materials for the school. The campaign starts on May 1st and will 
continue through until October 31st. If you have any questions about the 
fundraiser, please see Michele Barr (Grade 1 teacher) or email her at 
mbarr@bedfordacademy.ca. 
 
Thanks for your support.

FAMILY SKATE
The Bedford Academy Annual Family Skate will take place on Tuesday, February 
21st at 1:00 pm. Grade One students must be transported to the LeBrun Centre 
by a parent. All students must have their own skates and wear a CSA-approved 
helmet.

COYOTE SIGHTING
We were informed today by a Brookshire Court area resident of a coyote 
sighting along the path in the rear of the school. Director, Nancy Wallace 
immediately contacted the Natural Resources Department and Butch Galvez, a 
Wildlife Technician, walked the trail and confirmed the tracks were in fact a 
coyote. He spoke to the entire student body and we were informed of what 
exactly our students should do if they come in contact with a coyote.  Our 
students will not play in the woods during recess and noon for the remainder 
of the week.
 
Information brochures from Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources have 
been distributed.
 
Please call Nancy Wallace at 835-2384 with any questions.
