More Than A Ticket - Opportunity for Students and Families to Attend Events

Kids Up Front offers Calgary students and their families various opportunities to attend sports games, concerts and other events through the More Than A Ticket program. This program supports students and families, who may not have access to ticketed events, enjoy exciting concerts, performances and sports games throughout the year.

Families can access the list of KUF agency partners who distribute tickets. Each agency partner has a designated “ticket contact", who is responsible for the distribution of tickets.​

Pedestrian, Traffic and Parking Lot Safety

We continue to observe the following unsafe practices:

• jaywalking across Bridleridge Way during high-traffic times at the beginning and end of school
• vehicles driving through the pedestrian crosswalk when there are pedestrians crossing
• families driving into the staff parking lot when dropping off or picking up their students

Please choose safety over convenience when you are bringing your children to and from school.

School Council and Fundraising Society

Bridlewood School Fundraising Society is proudly hosting a Read-a-thon from November 6 to November 24! So what does that mean for you and your child(ren)? It is a time to raise money simply by reading. Ask people to pledge your child(ren) and then begin to log daily reading. A pledge sheet and log sheet on one paper was sent home this week with your child(ren). All students who return a pledge form will receive a prize but don’t forget about the class prize - a class pizza party! Please take a moment to look through the rules and details so you’re prepared for Monday. Happy reading!
