SPB April 13 Weekly Top Image

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Here at Senator Patrick Burns School we are looking forward to the 3rd annual Spanish Film Festival. SPB students are once again creating outstanding movies, and we are thrilled to see the results of this project.

Our SPB Film Gala will take place on Friday, April 17, in the afternoon. Popcorn will be available for purchase.

The Crescent Heights festival will be on April 28, 2026.  Attending will be the winning film groups, Spanish Club members (presenting a film out of competition), and selected School Council volunteers.

Why don’t you ask your child to show you the film they have come up with in their group?

Thank you to all our Spanish teachers and to all teachers who supported the creation of films for our festival.

Sr. Ludwigsen, Principal
