Hello Earl Grey Families,

Cultural Day: Thursday, April 17

On April 17, our school will be hosting a special Cultural Day Celebration to honor and highlight the many cultures represented in our community. Students are encouraged to wear fancy or traditional clothing that reflects their cultural background. As part of the festivities, each class will participate in a Cultural Day Spring Dance. Students are also welcome to bring a cultural game from home to teach and play with their classmates. To further embrace this celebration, classrooms will be inviting families to contribute to a special “potluck”-style snack time by bringing in a dish that represents their culture. Please keep an eye out for a message from your child’s teacher with more details about the potluck. This event is a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect, learn from one another, and celebrate the rich diversity that makes our school community so special.

Afternoon Pick-up at the School

Due to the congestion at the front door of the school by students needing to access busses on Hillcrest Avenue, we ask that parents and caregivers to pick up non bus students at the designated back doors of the school. Teachers have reviewed these locations with students.
