EARL GREY WEEKLY UPDATE

This beautiful picture is from Mrs. Helsen’s Grade 3 class, who spent time on the land watching the sunrise. Last week’s weather provided many classes with opportunities to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. Although this is a three-day week, it looks like we will continue to have opportunities to enjoy the sunshine in the days ahead. Have a great week!!


Olympic Torch Run


Earl Grey had a wonderful time welcoming the Olympics on Friday with our very own Olympic Torch Run! Students made flags from countries around the world and enjoyed celebrating the spirit of the Olympics together.

Staff Parking Lot


Please note that the school parking lot is not available for public parking or student drop-off during the school day, as this creates an unsafe situation for students and staff.

If you are dropping your child off after 8:00 a.m., please ensure they enter through the front doors so they can be signed in and properly accounted for. Please do not knock at the back door to be let in.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep all students safe.
