DEMOGRAPHIC VERIFICATION FORMS AND ANNUAL AUTHORIZATION FORMS

We still have 305 outstanding Demographic Verification Forms. If you have not logged into your MyCBE account to complete yours (even if you have no changes), please do so right away. These have to be signed and submitted so we can access the most up to date information for all children in the school in case of an emergency. This is critically important. Once logged in, find the "Online Forms and School Registration icon to get to where you need to be. EACH student has their own form.

We also still have 260 outstanding Annual Authorization Forms. These are located in the same place.

Thanks for you help in getting this done as soon as possible.

**If you have difficulty or you cannot find the forms within your account, please email Mrs. Brinson at mlbrinson@cbe.ab.ca with the FIRST AND LAST NAME OF YOUR CHILD and she will help you or ensure they get properly assigned to you so you can complete them.***

TERRY FOX RUN AT NORTHERN LIGHTS SCHOOL

Each September, students at Northern Lights School will join thousands of schools worldwide in the annual Terry Fox Event.  In preparation for the event, students reflect on topics such as Terry Fox’s legacy, meeting challenges, empathy, and setting personal goals.  You may wish to support your child’s learning about Terry Fox through discussion at home.  Further information can be found at https://terryfox.org/. 

 This year the Northern Lights School community is challenged to meet the goal set by our students of raising $1500.00 and running or walking 1500 km!  

 On Thursday, September 19, students will run around a designated course on the field beside the school.  In case of inclement weather, the run will take place indoors during regularly scheduled Phys. Ed. classes. 

 Students and families are invited to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation in the following ways: by contributing cash or cheques, made payable to The Terry Fox Foundation, to classroom collection boxes; or online. Online donations may be made at:  https://schools.terryfox.ca/73103 Tax receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation for donations over $20.00.  All monies raised through our event will be forwarded to the Foundation to further the cause of cancer research.  The deadline for donation is Friday, September 20, 2024. 

 Let’s help Northern Lights School keep Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer alive.         

 Thank you!
