WHAT’S THE BLYTHWOOD GALA?
Presented by the Blythwood Parent School Association, this pinnacle biennial fundraising event brings
together Blythwood parents and staff for an exciting evening of entertainment, music, dance, silent/live/class
project auctions and much more.
THE CAUSE
This year, funds raised will go towards “Constructing the 21st Century Classroom”. Research has shown that
the 4 essential skills students need to be successful citizens beyond school are critical thinking, creativity,
collaboration and communication. To assist in the development of these skills, the funds raised will be used to:
1. Enhance the kindergarten play area to promote exploration and inquiry.
2. Purchase iPads to enable documented learning, increased engagement, improved collaboration, and
personalized learning. (Grades 1-3)
3. Expand our inventory of Chromebooks to allow more students access to the google platform to
encourage collaborative learning, inspire creativity, facilitate active engagement participation, and
increase critical thinking. (Grades 4-6).
Also, a portion of these funds is donated to our sister school, Sunny View Public School, to help support the
learning experiences and intensive health needs of Sunny View students.
HOW YOU CAN HELP?
Donate some great items to our auction! In 2018, nearly all of the money raised from the silent auction came
from our incredible parent community or ties to our parent community. We have come up with a Wish List
that includes gift certificates, event tickets, electronics, unique experiences and getaways. For moreinformation on our Wish List and some FAQs visit http://blythwoodschool.com/gala/auctions-gala/ or see the “Blythwood Gala Silent Auction Parent Ask” letter attached. Let's help make Blythwood a leader in education and help support the students of Sunny View. We look forward to seeing you on May 1, 2020, for Havana Nights!

Extended French for Students Currently in Grade 6 Earlier your Grade 6 student brought home information regarding the Grade 7 Extended French Program (information flyer attached as well for your convenience). Your child can begin an Extended French program starting in Grade 7. If Blythwood is your home school then your designated school for Extended French is Glenview Senior PS. The Grade 7 Extended French programs are intensive French programs developed for students who do not speak French at home. They are designed to provide more experience in the French language than offered in the Core French program, but less than total Immersion. The Extended French program includes French and additional subjects taught in the French language.
