Play, Eh! Help Us Redesign Our Eastern School Yard!

School-Yard-Community-Invite3

Before our Earl Haig community heads off for a fun and safe March break, we wanted to make sure you knew about an upcoming meeting about our very exciting eastern school yard redesign.

Please join us for this collaborative session focussed on the renewal and transformation of our eastern school yard. We want to hear your input and creativity on how to redesign the best possible space for our school and community!

The meeting runs from 7:00 – 8:00 PM, on Thursday, March 22nd, at the school. Please RSVP to Vice-Principal Richard Ng if you are able to attend.

Have a wonderful March break!

 

Looking Ahead to March

We’ve had a fantastic February – both weather-wise and in terms of our cupcake sale, which raised $900 (thanks to some sweet-toothed students!) – and we are now looking ahead to a busy and fun March!

Food Around the World

First up, tomorrow, March 1st, we have our wildly popular Food Around the World potluck. It will run from 6-8pm in the gymnasium. Bring a labelled nut-free dish to share, your own cutlery and plates, and get set to learn some new dance moves courtesy of Culture Shock Dance Troupe.

Let’s Go Marlies!

Next up, a reminder that Friday, March 2nd is the deadline to purchase tickets for the Toronto Marlies game on March 24th. Please send in the order form to your child’s teacher or the main office. It’s sure to be a fun game!

Call for Volunteers for the Spring Festival!

Lastly, we are hosting a volunteer kick-off meeting this Sunday, March 4th for our spring community festival (happening May/June – date to be confirmed soon).

The festival is always the most anticipated event of the year at Earl Haig PS! It’s hosted in our school yard and is loaded with food, fun, games, and entertainment all while raising much needed funds for our school! There are tons of ways for you to help make this event a success, (both before and during the event) like food prep, game set-up, volunteer to work festival stations, or help supply prizes and/or baked goods.

Whether you’re able to attend the kick-off meeting or not, please send Hilary a note if you’re interested in volunteering for this year’s festival. We can only make these great events happen with your support!

 

Reminder: RSVP for your seat at The Toronto Marlies game!

Just a reminder to RSVP by Friday, March 2nd to attend The Toronto Marlies game on March 24th (4pm start) with other members of Earl Haig PS. Please submit the order form that was sent home in mailbags to your teacher or to the main office by Friday. Tickets are $22 each and you can buy as many as you would like.

It’s sure to be a great game! Our very own Earl Haig Choir will be singing during intermission, there will be a family skate on the ice afterward (7pm – 7:50pm), and 40 students will be picked via a lottery draw to participate in the pre-game Fan Tunnel.
