What Do Photo Retakes and Bike Lane Consultations Have in Common?

…they are both taking place this Thursday, November 7th!

Earl Haig photo retakes are taking place in the morning only. Please let your child’s teacher know if you would like them to have retakes done.

The first community consultation for bike lanes on the Danforth is happening Thursday night, 6:30 PM at Monarch Park CI. If you are a regular cyclist (or would like to be!) please come by to learn more about the Complete Streets study and show your support for bike lanes!

Halloween Week at Earl Haig

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!

Sign Up for a Slice of Fun!

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.
