The Grizzly Gazette June 9 – 13

Dear Gibson Families,

A heartfelt thank you to all the parents and caregivers who joined us for our Parent Appreciation event! It was so lovely to have you with us and to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the important role you play in our school community.

Whether you stopped by briefly or stayed the whole time, your presence made the morning extra special. We hope you enjoyed the time, the treats, and the chance to connect.

Thank you for your continued support!. Gibson is a stronger, more vibrant place because of you!

As we all start to feel a little tired of making the same old lunches and look forward to the slower pace of summer, we’d like to kindly remind families to continue packing nut-free items.

Gibson is an allergy-aware school, and we have students with life-threatening allergies. Your cooperation helps us keep our school a safe and inclusive place for everyone.

We understand this may be an inconvenience at times, and we truly appreciate your continued support and care in helping protect our students.

Thank you for being part of our safe and caring community!

RELAY FOR LIFE

A big thank you to all the families who supported our efforts for Delview’s Relay for Life event. Thanks to your generosity and encouragement, we were able to raise and contribute $800 toward this important cause!

The event, organized by Delview’s students, brought the school community together in a meaningful way, with all funds going directly to cancer research. We’re proud to have been part of such a powerful initiative, and even more grateful to have such supportive families helping us make a difference.

Thank you again for your kindness and continued support.

Electric Scooters and E-Bikes

 

As the warmer weather approaches, students will have more opportunities to engage in bike– and scooter-related activities like commuting to school. Please find below a reminder of the provincial regulations regarding electric kick scooters and electric bikes (e-bikes).

Electric kick scooters should not be used by students travelling to school or while on the school grounds.

Despite their popularity in our province, electric kick scooters remain illegal for use on public roads, bike lanes and sidewalks across most of B.C., except in a handful of cities that are taking part in a pilot program to test the use of them. The City of Delta is not part of the pilot program. Even in the pilot program cities, it is illegal for a person under 16 years of age to operate an electric kick scooter. You can view the provincial rules here: Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project Regulation.

E-Bikes: In B.C., it is illegal for students under 14 years of age to ride e-bikes. Students can operate light e-bikes at age 14 and standard e-bikes at 16. Parents or guardians of students below the minimum age must not knowingly permit them to ride an e-bike. For more information, including the definitions of a light e-bike and a standard e-bike, please visit: E-Bike Rules of the Road

 

SPORTS DAY JUNE 13
