Hello Earl Grey Families,
Today is International Women’s Day!
The Government of Canada’s theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2024 is Invest in women: Accelerate progress.
It’s a call to action and a reminder that gender equality is one of the most effective ways to build healthier, more prosperous, and more inclusive communities.
Please have a look at the Government of Canada Website at:
Hillcrest Avenue – Bus Zone Safety
Earl Grey school operates on a “Safety First – Convenience Second” mindset when it comes to dropping off and picking up your children at school. We have noticed an increase of illegal U-turns or 3-points turns occurring in front of school and in the bus zones. Please refrain from making these maneuvers as it increases the likelihood of accidents. Safety is our first concern.
