Lower School students will perform at both the matinee and evening performances. Grade Seven students will perform at the matinee only. All students should wear dress clothes in black, white or metallic colours such as gold or silver. We are keeping the clothing colours neutral so that the colours and decorations of each celebration can stand out and help to tell the story.

Cape Breton University is proud to be the official sponsor of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in our province for the 2022–2023 school year. Together, we can provide students with the opportunity to compete in one of the world’s longest-running educational competitions.
Ms. Bartlett is looking for students in Grades 4-8 who are interested in participating in our Spelling Bee. Practices will be held at lunch in the new year on Day 1. Please let Ms. Bartlett know as soon as possible if your child is interested (sbartlett@armbrae.ns.ca).
