Q: What do mountains wear to keep warm?
A: Snowcaps!

It’s going to take more than snow caps to keep all of our Earl Haig students warm this winter. To bulk up our fantastic Winter Outerwear Lending Library program from last year, we are holding a donation drive tomorrow and Friday (October 28th, 29th) from 8:30am to 9:00am at the playground entrance to the school (off of Currie Ave).

So far this year, we are mostly in need of gently used or new:

• jackets for all sizes
• warm gloves
• snow pants
• neck warmers (*but please no scarves, we cannot give those to the children)
• boots

If you have something to donate, but cannot make those dates, please let us know.

Thank you for your support!

A reminder that Earl Haig PS will be collecting non-perishable food items until the end of this week (Friday, October 22nd) to help one of our local food banks, Glen Rhodes Food Bank. If you are able to, please consider sending your child to school with non-perishable food items and help people in our community who are experiencing food insecurity.

Here are a few examples of food and other items that are most needed:

• baby food (as well as diapers)
• peanut butter
• canned meats and fish
• pasta
• sauces
• beans
• soups
• pet food
• socks
• personal hygiene products

For more information, please contact the main office.

Thank you for your generosity!

We hope everyone is enjoying these lovely second summer days. It’s hard to believe we are a month into school already, but alas, we are, and cooler weather is coming.

Please join us on Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at 7:00pm for our next SAC meeting. Here is the agenda, but, truly, the big ticket item is that we will hold our annual elections for executive positions. If you’re considering throwing your hat into the ring for any of the roles, please do! Filling executive positions on council helps us to do more collectively to contribute to our school and community and ensures we are effectively representing our parent and caregiver community. You can find more info on our executive positions here and the link to the online nomination form is here. Please try to submit your nomination form by end of day Sunday, October 17th. (If you filled out a form prior to our meeting last month, no need to redo.)

Here is some information on the work of school advisory councils.
