École Dr. Bernard Brosseau Middle School

Over the past few weeks the students in Grades 5 and 6 have been capitalizing on all the snow that we have this winter! Before heading out we examined traditional snowshoes that were invented by the Indigenous people, and discussed how this invention was created to make it easier for them to hunt and move around in the deep snow during the winter months. Students have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and have definitely improved their ability to move in the snowshoes, with some students even trying to run in them!

Today is Family Literacy Day! May we celebrate the precious gift of reading together as families. Whether it’s reading a bedtime story, sharing Scripture, or exploring a new book, these moments nurture faith, connection, and curiosity.

"Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray."
—Proverbs 22:6

Across the Division, students engaged in meaningful learning that built literacy and numeracy skills, encouraged problem‑solving, and strengthened confidence. From Learning Strategies at Assumption, to one‑to‑one literacy instruction at Holy Cross, to Grade 5/6 goal setting in Wellness at Holy Family, to numeracy work and shared reading at École Notre Dame Elementary, classrooms remained focused on learning that supports the whole child — academically, socially, and spiritually.

Students who were unable to attend were provided with learning activities to support continued learning from home.

Thank you to our families, staff, and students for their dedication to learning today. The day reinforced the importance of consistency and connection for students.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday!

Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

École Dr. Bernard Brosseau School gathered today for a Christian Unity Liturgy, welcoming Father Rene and pastors from churches across Bonnyville. Students took part in the liturgy through readings, helping to share a message rooted in love, faith, and unity in Jesus Christ.

This gathering offered a meaningful opportunity for students to grow in shared understanding, reflect together, and be reminded of the values that guide daily life in a faith-centred school community.
