Hello Earl Grey Families,

Playground Update

Thanks to groundwork efforts by the previous council and legacy donors (the initial supporters of the previous playground upgrade that was put on hold in 2020) we’ve secured almost $50,000 towards our $480,000 project goal. We will apply for approximately $200,000 in grants starting in September 2024, aiming for project completion by the summer of 2025.

That leaves us with a fundraising goal of $230,000!

We invite you to learn more and consider making a donation that will make a tangible difference in the lives of our students and the broader community.  Our website is now ready to launch! Please have a look here:  www.egplayground.ca

We have also attached the Playground Memo and Poster for your reference:  

If you have any questions or would like additional information please email earlgreyplayground@gmail.com 

Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to building a stimulating and inclusive playground that fosters play for everyone,

Your Earl Grey Playground Revitalization Committee

Spring Dance – May 23, 2024 12:00 to 2:30 

As a culmination of our Physical Education- Dance Unit, Students will have an opportunity to participate in an afternoon fun dance in the gym. 

We are looking for parent volunteers who will be able to run the sound system, and add some decorations in the gym.  Also, if you have some spot lights or “Disco ball” that you could lend us for the afternoon would be greatly appreciated. Please sign up here to volunteer:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508094FA4AD2DABF49-49291905-spring
