Please don't forget to pay your school fees! If you need financial assistance, please email me so that we can help you out. kathy.kloschinsky@blackgold.ca

We have a number of events coming up that require permission forms.  If you have not signed a permission form online with Black Gold before, we have information on our website on how to create a PowerSchool account and how to sign a permission form - it is under the parents tab on our "Fees, Payment and Permission" page.   http://rbes.blackgold.ca/parents/fees-payment/ If you have any questions, please call the office at 780-987-3705.  





Terry Fox Walk

From our website you can click on the link to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation.  Permission forms are due Thursday, September 29. (Kinders do not leave the field and so do not need to complete a permission form.)

They would also like to send a reminder that our AGM for both our School Council and Fundraiser groups is on Wednesday, September 21 at 7:00 p.m. We will start with the School Council meeting and follow that shortly after with our Fundraiser meeting.

Lord Strathcona's Musical Ride
We are thrilled to let you know that Robina Baker is hoping to be presenting the Mounted Troop of the Lord Strathcona's Horse Musical Ride on Wednesday, September 21. We have sent in our booking, but we are waiting for confirmation.

Established to commemorate the original mounted cavalry regiment of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) raised in 1900 for the Boer War, its first volunteers were from the towns and ranches of Western Canada.  The Troop is made up of volunteer members of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), an active Armour Unit in the Canadian Forces that traded in horses for tanks in the 1930s. Many of the soldiers are veterans of Afghanistan and other peacekeeping tours.



More information will be coming home soon!
