BHSMP Fundraiser - Are water restrictions getting you down? Do you dread this summer’s brown lawns and wilted flowers? We have a solution for you!

There is no better time to purchase those rain barrels you have been considering (the City of Calgary is also offering $50 rebates beginning in April to offset the costs of these water-saving tools!). The Bowness High School Music Parents Association is currently selling rain barrels, installation kits and other accessories from March 1 – April 17, 2026 as a fundraiser for our music program operating costs. 

There is an option to have the barrels delivered directly to your home for a small delivery fee or pick up at Bowness High School on April 24, 2026. 

Order today at: https://rainbarrel.ca/bhsmpa/

 Looking for donations of Golf Clubs
Our Physical Education and HPAD program is currently looking to expand our golf unit, and we are asking for your help. If you have any golf clubs at home that are still in good condition and no longer being used, we would greatly appreciate your donation.

Donated clubs will be used by students during our golf activities to help them learn basic skills and enjoy the game. Having a variety of clubs available allows more students to participate and gain hands-on experience.

If you would like to donate, please ensure the clubs are in good shape and safe for student use. Donations can be dropped off at the Main Office at your convenience.

Thank you for supporting our Physical Education and HPAD programs and helping provide meaningful learning opportunities for our students.

Sincerely PE & HPAD Team
