Community and School

Each year in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Bruderheim Community School students and staff donate items to the Town of Bruderheim Food Bank.

The BPAC Family Dance & B-B-Q takes place every spring. For the last several years it has been in early June.

Ryerson Christie Award

The Ryerson Christie Award is presented on our Awards Night at the end of June each year to the Grade Six student who best exemplifies citizenship through volunteerism, cooperation and a positive attitude. 

The Christie family originally set up this award in 1996 in memory of their late father, Ryerson Christie, who attended the old Walker School in Bruderheim in the late 1920s.

Blaze Ashmead Sportsmanship Award 

The Blaze Ashmead Memorial Award for Sportsmanship was first presented at our Awards Night in June, 2004.  This award is given to the Grade Six student who best personifies sportsmanship at recess, during gym class, as well as in community sports.

Blaze Ashmead, a former Bruderheim School student, died tragically on December 14th, 2003.  He was an easy going student, who displayed great sportsmanship while at our school. 

F.C.S.S. Volunteer of the Year Award 

Every year at our Awards Night in June, the Family and Community Support Services presents a school volunteer award. 

This award is given to a student who while attending our school has shown outstanding true volunteer spirit, respect and kindness while volunteering, diligence in his or her school work while volunteering, encouragement to others, and took initiative in finding volunteer opportunities on their own.
