Category: Earl Haig Information

First up, thank you to all who supported our Pumpkin Patch last week, and to those who volunteered and baked for it. We’d love to see photos of how you carved up those Earl Haig pumpkins! Feel free to tag us in pics of your Jack-o-Lanterns on Instagram or Twitter or post a photo to our SAC Facebook page!

Also, a reminder that Earl Haig’s Harvest Festival Food Drive is happening right until October 31st. All donations are appreciated and greatly needed. We have raised half of the goal so far – so let’s rally and fill all the boxes for Community Centre 55!

Tomorrow is the big Halloween costume parade! Parents and families are welcome to join as students (and teachers) show off their rad costumes. The parade starts at 12:45pm and takes place rain or shine — inside along the hallways (if rain) or outside around the track (if shine). Please have students leave any weapon-like props at home.

There are festivities planned throughout the day, with a haunted house happening in the library and a Halloween dance later in the day.

Have a spooktacular Halloween, Earl Haig!

Our next Pizza Lunch is taking place next Friday. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, be sure to get your order in before Wednesday, October 30th. Ordering always closes two days before pizza day.

Sign up and pay online via Munch a Lunch (pro tip: you can place your order for the whole year and never worry about it again!). You can order 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!

All students are welcome to participate, but 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, no worries! Send an email to Polly and she will help make other arrangements.

The Earl Haig PS community is collecting non-perishable food items until October 31st in support of Community Centre 55. Collection boxes can be found in front of the school’s office. Please consider giving if you can!

Suggestions of items to donate include:

• Pasta (canned or dry) and pasta sauces.
• Canned meats and fish.
• Meat alternatives (peanut butter, soy, assorted nuts)
• Canned goods (beans, soups, stews)
• Canned and powdered milk
• Canned vegetables and fruit
• Whole grain cereals
• Infant foods and baby formula
• Pet Food

Bakers, we need you!

Please contribute something yummy to our Pumpkin Patch — happening this Friday! The bake sale table is always a great success, so we’d love to have as many items as possible to accommodate all the lovely humans who want to purchase treats.

Muffins, cookies, whole loafs, anything goes as long as it is nut free (and delicious). We would also really love to be able to have a variety of gluten free or dairy free treats to offer (please label these, if you can).

***Please drop-off your labeled baked goods to the office on Thursday, October 24th.

And a reminder…

October’s School Advisory Council meeting is taking place tonight, at 7PM in the Music Room (we’ll have childcare!). Take a look at the agenda to see what we’ll be chatting about.

Hope to see you there!
