Dear Earl Grey Families
The parent-teacher conferences were a great success, with meaningful conversations that strengthened the connection between families and our school. We’re also incredibly grateful to all the parents who took the time to visit and support the Scholastic Book Fair, helping to foster a love of reading in our students. Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication!
Thank you, parents, for dedicating your time to decorate the school. The festive charm you’ve brought has truly filled us with the Christmas spirit. We’re so grateful to have you as part of our school family!
Christmas Stars
This holiday season, we invite you to help brighten the lives of families in need by participating in our Christmas Stars initiative. Visit the display and grab a star—it includes a description of the type of gift or card needed. These thoughtful contributions will go directly to support some of our families this Christmas. Let’s work together to make the season truly magical for everyone! Please return all gifts and cards to the office by December 11 to ensure timely delivery.
