Your News... In Real-Time!

At Bruce Middle School we've decided to go paperless with our newsletter.

There are two advantages to this:

- The saving of paper is a savings in costs and more importantly another step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

- By offering news in this format, we can now provide our community with real-time news as it happens, instead of waiting until the end of the month to send out information.

Grade 7 & 8 Band students start planning now for our Band Trip to the International Music Camp (IMC) at the Peace Gardens May 27-29!  It is always a great time filled with wonderful musical experiences.  Students get to go with their friends from Bruce and other middle schools in the division.   They return home with improved musical skills, more confidence, and lasting memories to prepare them for high school.  The cost to attend this world-renowned camp is $200Please mark this trip on your calendar and make it a priority.  The first payment of $80 will be due in February.
