On Wednesday, May 28, our school community gathered in the J.T.M. Guest Theatre to celebrate the incredible dedication and generosity of our parent volunteers at the annual Parent Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. The event served as a warm and sincere opportunity to recognize the time, energy, and spirit our parent volunteers contribute throughout the school year.

Parents were welcomed with delightful refreshments and a heartfelt atmosphere of gratitude. The Head of School, the Parent Association President and Vice President, as well as the Executive Director of Advancement and External Relations, each shared their remarks expressing appreciation for the profound impact our parent volunteers have on student life, school events, and the broader community.

We are deeply thankful for our engaged and supportive parent community. Your commitment and care help make Bayview Glen a place where students – and our entire school community – can thrive.

We are always looking for parents to join us to organize events, be a part of our Parent Association Executive and volunteer at events. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the online signup form (click here), or contact pavolunteer@bayviewglen.ca for any questions.
