Felting Art Collaborations
The BIGGEST THANKS goes to our amazing #belfastyvolunteers who came in
and supported our students these past few weeks in creating unique, stunning
& amazing pieces of Felt Art. We want to thank Parent Council who helped
sponsor this school wide Artist in Residency.
The Felt Art pieces will be displayed in various areas & are being
hung after the winter break. We welcome everyone to come in to see these
amazing pieces in person. We hope you
truly enjoy these Collaboration Felt Art pieces we feel that they have truly
captured what Belfast school stands for: EXPLORE! CREATE! ENGAGE!

Message from WE CARE
CLUB:
Moo-Staches in
Moo-vember…….
This year WE Care Club is excited to announce that their next fundraiser is for Food for the
Hungry. Every Monday and Thursday at lunch (November 28th-December 19th), students will
have the opportunity to have their moo-stache picture taken with our lovely
cow Hope Bell! Last year our Goatees for Goats fundraiser raised $1200.00
to buy goats through Oxfam Canada for communities in need. This year they hope
to raise $1600.00 to buy 10 cows through Food for the Hungry. The cows will be
purchased for communities in need in Uganda, Cambodia and Ethiopia.
