News from BUCPS
SAVE THE DATE: Ukrainian Kindergarten OPEN HOUSE - Thursday, June 14, 2018 @6:30pm
If you have a little one starting Kindergarten next year, or know someone with a little one starting next year, we invite you to pop in on our Open House at Jean Vanier (or pass this information along to your friends).
You don't need to be Ukrainian or know Ukrainian, just be interested in challenging your child with a second language and exposing them to a beautiful culture. You and your child will even have the chance to meet our wonderful Ukrainian Kindergarten teacher, Pani Sombyk.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Ukrainian Program Testimonials: We Want to Hear from You!
SHARE YOUR STORY!
BUCPS is looking for "testimonials" from either parents or students in the program to offer insight to those parents considering putting their children in the Ukrainian Bilingual program.
So! We are looking for your help!
If you have a testimonial that you would like to share with us on how the program has enriched your children, or they would like to share their own testimonial, we would love to hear from you!3 Avenues to Share Your Story
1) Written Testimonial - Please email bucpssecretary@gmail.com with your story with regards to the program.
2) Video Testimonial - We are also in the planning stages to possibly incorporate video testimonials as well, so if you are interested in recording or having your child record a video testimonial, please let us know!
3) In Person Testimonial - We would love to have a few students speak at the Open House on June 14th - it would be great to hear from students from all 3 schools (JV, St. T's and ABJ) who can speak to the program and what it has done for them.
If you are interested in any way with regards to sharing your story, please email bucpssecretary@gmail.com as soon as possible!
This information will possibly be used for marketing material at the upcoming Open House (or future events), as well as on the new Sherwood Park Bilingual Program website.
Thank you for your support!
