Promise Scholarship

Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to congratulate the following 2010/2011 Promise Scholarship Recipients:

Daniel Sanchez
Chyanne Connor
Taylor Henderson
Luke Stone
Andrew Dempsey
Chyenne Wray-Fast (McLelland)
Timmy Bobbitt

Promise Scholarship Program
The Promise Scholarship is awarded to 10 students in Grade 7 as a promise that if they keep up their commitment to academics, the community and themselves, we will be there to offer financial assistance when they enter post secondary school. Unlike other scholarships (which are typically awarded at the end of high school), we offer the message of hope and promise early in a child's academic life. When a child is accepted into a post secondary institution, we advocate on the child's behalf to receive matching scholarship funds.

Overnights

With the summer season almost upon us, and cottage and camping season well underway, the staff at Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to take this opportunity to remind you of our overnight policy.

Overnights are permitted, for each friendship, a total of four times in a twelve month period, and each overnight is allowed to last a maximum of 3 nights in a row. Overnights are not permitted to occur outside of Canada and all participants wishing to have an overnight outing, must first complete an overnight permission form. These forms can be mailed (or emailed) to you, by your Case Manager.
