Earl Haig Has Heart

This Thursday (April 23) is the Spring Concert.  It’s a show not to be missed.
It all starts at 6:30pm in the school gymnasium.
Those children performing are asked to be at school by 6:00pm to prepare.

Spring Food Drive
The Earl Haig Has Heart food drive started last week. Families are being asked to bring in non-perishable food items for the Daily Food Bank as they have a shortage. The Me-To-We club is supporting this initiative by decorating donation boxes, visiting classes, and creating posters.  The children are hoping to raise more than 500 lbs of food and we are encouraging everyone joining us for the Spring Concert to drop off an item or two.

School Council Update
Next meeting is April 21st.  Please check out our minutes online.
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm.
