Earl Haig Eagles' Nest

Come one, come all to our first School Advisory Council meeting of the year! We’ll be meeting in the Music Room on Tuesday, January 15th at 7pm. Childcare is provided.

At the meeting, you’ll learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, hear updates from Principal Root, and you’re encouraged to share any ideas or suggestions you may have. You don’t need to be on the council to attend a meeting – all caregivers are welcome.

If you have any questions for the Principal, you can send them his way in advance of the meeting using this quick and easy form.

As everyone settles back into school routines, we wanted to share the reminder that we are just over a week away from our Play EH! Dance-a-thon. On Thursday, January 17th Earl Haig students will bust a move to keep us moving on our goal of funding our playground revitalization.

A prize of 4 Ripley’s Aquarium tickets will be awarded to the student who raises the most money and a FREE pizza lunch will go to the class with the highest combined fundraising – so let’s get jazzed up about those pledge sheets!

Students can also bring loonies and toonies on the day of the Dance-a-thon for snacks and glow bracelets.

If you have any questions about the Dance-a-thon, please don’t hesitate to contact the Play EH! team.

 

 

Happy New Year!

If you are resolving this January to de-clutter your home, we can help you get that resolution off to a great start. Our Earl Haig PS Bottle Drive is taking place this Saturday, January 5th, from 10am to 2pm, at the Beer Store (Woodbine & Mortimer). Offload your holiday empties and support school initiatives in the process!

Want to help out during the Drive? We could still use a few hands to sort bottles. Sign up here: http://signup.com/go/rqjtxTH

Earl Haig PS is hosting its first ever Dance-A-Thon for Play EH! on January 17th. We are going to move and groove our way to raising funds to revitalize our playground!

This week students are bringing home Play EH! Dance-a-thon pledge envelopes which contain a letter with all the details. Any amount our students can raise is great, but we are encouraging students to each try and raise at least $25. As a special bonus, the class with the greatest fundraising achieved will win a Pizza lunch. Students can also bring loonies and toonies on the day of the dance for snacks and glow bracelets!

Our Bottle Drive is on Saturday, January 5th, 10am-2pm. We need volunteers to help sort bottles at the Beer Store (Woodbine and Mortimer). Click on this link to Sign-Up: http://signup.com/go/rqjtxTH

Proceeds will go to PlayEH! and other School Advisory Council initiatives. If you can’t volunteer, please save up your bottles and bring them by for us that morning. Thanks for your support!

 

Our school is kicking off an enormous fundraising initiative to revitalize the students’ playground with more monkey bars, climbing activities, seating areas, and improved accessibility. And we need YOUR help to make it happen!

To learn more about the project and to donate (tax receipts given!) online or by cheque, please take a look at our Play EH! page.

For more details on the Play EH! plans, budget and progress, stay tuned to our blog and social media, or check out our display board in the school’s front foyer.

A reminder for all that the Student Council’s Sleep Day event is taking place tomorrow (Friday, November 30th). It is in support of Sleeping Children Around the World. Students are encouraged to wear their PJ’s for the day on Friday and/or bring in a $2 donation. The money is used to purchase BedKits for children in poverty. Each kit costs $35 and includes a bedroll or mat, pillow, mosquito net, and school supplies. Check out www.scaw.org for more information.

Let’s show a sign of support for a good night’s sleep by children around the globe!
