… Pizza Wednesday!

Due to the possibility of strike action next week (affecting Earl Haig on February 6th and 7th), we are moving our Pizza Lunch to Wednesday, February 5th. All orders currently in the system for February 7th will be honoured on Wednesday. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, you can do so until Monday. If you need to edit or cancel your order, you may also do this up until two days before any Pizza Lunch.

Reminder: you can sign up and pay online via Munch a Lunch. Choose from cheese or pepperoni pizza ($2.50 per slice), gluten free and dairy free pizza ($3.00 per slice), and juice boxes ($1.00 each), too!

For children in the before-and-after care at Earl Haig, please be sure to select their lunchroom teacher and room from the drop-down list instead of their classroom teacher.

If you aren’t able to order by credit card online just send an email to Polly and she will help make other arrangements.

The Dance-a-thon was an amazing success!  With our students’ fancy footwork and the support of your family and friends we raised $14,000 for TechEH!!!!  

We want you all to know that 30 Chromebooks have already been purchased and are in use in the school because of your fundraising!  We will be sure to let you know when the next round of devices are purchased as we strive to properly outfit our school with technology to assist with classroom learning.  

Now for the winner of the pizza lunch:  Congratulations to Mr. Tamkei’s class for raising the most money per student for the Dance-athon — second year in a row!  Mr Cepin’s class were also fantastic fundraisers so they will get to celebrate with a licorice candy party!

We had a great team of amazing volunteers who helped make this event a success: Shannon (our fabulous DJ), Tuyen, Polly, Joel (who provided all of the amazing lights + sound equipment), Susan, Andrea, Michelle, Erica, Jeff, Helen, Brooke, Sally, Emma, and Erin. Thank you all for your help — we could not have done this without you!

 

It’s our first School Advisory Council meeting of the year next week and we have so much to talk about. Please join us as we meet on Tuesday, January 21st from 7pm to 8:30pm in the school Music Room (in the basement). As at every meeting, childcare is available.

Join us and you’ll get the lowdown on upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, hear updates from Principal Root about the school, and as always, you’ll have an opportunity to share any ideas or suggestions you may have. You don’t need to be on the council to attend – all are welcome!

Check out our agenda for this week’s meeting.

Do you have any questions for the Principal? Send them his way ahead of the meeting by using this quick and easy form.

Hope to see you there!
