Dear Copperfield Families,

We’ve had another wonderful week of learning here at Copperfield School!

A big thank you to the DMC Jazz Band and the admin team for visiting Copperfield. Your performance was truly inspiring. It was especially meaningful to see Copperfield alumni sharing their incredible talents.

May is shaping up to be a busy and exciting month, with our Trickster Drama Residency, Alien In-Line Skating for students in Grades 3–5, and a variety of fun field trips planned across many classrooms. We truly appreciate everyone who helps support these valuable learning opportunities. We are especially grateful to our School Council for covering transportation costs for these trips.

This is also a great time to remind families to review their MyCBE account for any outstanding field trip fees and to ensure that all required student forms have been completed and returned.

Once again, thank you for your continued support—Copperfield has heart!

Warm regards,
Colette Pedde                                     Allyson Heggie
Principal                                              Assistant Principal
