Grades 1 - 3 will access the Snack Shack on Mondays and Wednesdays; Grades 4 - 6 will access the Snack Shack on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Snack Shack is closed Fridays. Please remember to send a full lunch with your child (sandwich, fruit, vegetables, and a drink), as the Snack Shack only sells supplementary snacks. 

8. BHES Choir Fees (Grade 3 - 6 students only): There will be fees throughout the school year for any child wishing to join choir. If you have marked that your child needs a Choir t-shirt, the fee has been added to your child's account. Additionally, there will be a few field trips throughout the school year, with fees to be determined before each field trip. We will do our best to give plenty of notice to the parents of the choir students. If you need finacial assistance, please reach out to Mrs. Michaylow in the school office for assistance.
