COMMUNITY NEWS:
Breakfast Program Volunteers needed – We are looking for a few parent volunteers to help out occasionally with our Breakfast Program by filling in on Wednesday or Thursday mornings when needed. The program runs from 8:30 AM to 8:50 AM in the Community Room, where students are served a light breakfast such as cereal with milk, yogurt, and other simple items. If you’re available to volunteer occasionally on Wednesdays or Thursdays between now and the end of the school year, we would greatly appreciate your support! If you’re interested or would like more information, please contact Taryn Briscoe at Taryn.Briscoe@burnabyschools.ca.
Creekside Pro-D Day Outing – for the April 28 pro-d day Creekside has planned a pizza and swim outing. This is for students aged 10-13. Please view this flyer for all details.
Shadbolt’s Family Art Night is taking place on Monday, May 12th from 6:00 – 7:30 pm in the Community Room. Space is still available. Click here to view the flyer with registration information.

Shop Local and Support your School! We are excited to announce that Stoney Creek has partnered with local bookstore Kinder Books (located in the River Market at the New Westminster Quay) as a member of their Read & Reward program. Support local businesses and our school library while getting brand new books for your family! It’s a win-win-win! Click here for more details.
Free Acting & Improv trial class at Street Kings – This class is all about building confidence, creativity, and self-expression—which are huge for dance, school, and life in general! Whether your child is outgoing or a little shy, this is a great way to help them feel comfortable performing, speaking in front of others, and using their imagination.
It’s also great for any dancer who wants to level up their stage presence—whether for class, a recital, or just feeling more confident in their own skin.
And for those who might be interested in eventually going to auditions for commercials, tv shows and movies, our acting/improv programs will teach you:
- How to get into character
- How to act on camera
- How to slate your name & introduce yourself
- How to submit an audition tape and more!
These are amazing skills that can open doors later on—but most importantly, they help kids feel comfortable and expressive in any performance setting.
Free Trial Dates: Friday, April 11, April 18 and May 2
Class Times: Minis (Ages 5-7): 5:15 PM – 6:15 PM, Juniors (Ages 8-12): 6:15 PM – 7:15 PM
Flyer available here. Reserve a spot by email: burnaby@streetkingsstudio.com
