Dear Wildcat Families,
(A heartfelt message from our PAC President, Natasha Singh:)
Thank you, Hellings Community! What an incredible celebration!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Hellings Elementary 55th Reunion. From former students and staff to current families, neighbours and friends, it was truly heartwarming to see so many generations come together to celebrate the school and community we love.
The laughter, stories, photos, friendly reunions, and smiling faces made the evening unforgettable. Whether you attended, volunteered, donated, purchased raffle tickets, ran an activity, or simply helped spread the word, you helped make this event a tremendous success.
We are so grateful for the amazing support shown by our community. Seeing familiar faces reconnect and new memories being made reminded us just how special Hellings is. Thank you for helping us celebrate 55 wonderful years of learning, friendship, and community spirit!
Thank you, PAC Executive, Ms Gonzalez and I have no words for the number of planning meetings, the schedules, the errands, the shopping and decisions, the decorating and the organizing, and many many hours of work it took you to host such an outstanding event. Your care and love for this community has been on display for the past six months, and particularly on Friday night, and we couldn’t be more grateful for it! Our community owes you a big thank you for all you did to make this event the success that it was. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
To the BAM Helpers from North Delta Secondary:
Thank you to the team of students (some Hellings grads) who came to help out in so many ways. They lifted things here and moved things there, helped out at the inflatable activities, and so much more! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Bike to School Week – June 1st – 5th
Bike to School Week is an annual celebration where students across BC are encouraged to bike, roll, or walk to school. Active travel to and from school is associated with positive environmental, social, and safety benefits for students of all ages. Please remember that helmets are required to participate in this initiative. Let’s all do our part to protect the brains of our students!
Why should students bike to school?
- Biking to school helps students meet the daily physical activity targets suggested by the World Health Organization, which have been shown to improve control over symptoms
of anxiety and depression. - Biking to school creates healthy and energized students who are ready to learn.
- More bikes means less congestion and cleaner air around schools.
Kindergarten Welcome Sessions:
If you have a child starting Kindergarten in September, you are invited to attend two workshops to help you and your child have a smooth start.
Session 2: Thursday, June 4 – 9:15 – 10:15 @ Hellings
You will learn how to engage your child playfully in reading stories toget
her and establishing routines. You will take home a free book to enjoy with your child. As well, you will learn about how to build a beginning foundation for numbers and explore some fun activities to do with your child.
All parents, grandparents and caregivers are welcome!
We hope to see you here!
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found is overflowing with jackets, hoodies, water bottles, lunch kits and more! We encourage families to stop by the school and take a look for any missing items belonging to their children. The Lost and Found is located in the atrium of the school and is available for viewing before and after school. Thank you for helping us reunite these belongings with their owners!
