Hello Earl Grey Families
Thank you everyone for attending our Parent-Teacher Conferences. Thank you to School Council for providing teachers with our dinner last night. It was greatly appreciated!
Green Fools Residency
We are excited to announce that our students will be participating in the Green Fools Circus residency, an engaging and dynamic program designed to develop fundamental movement skills and physical abilities. Through fun and interactive activities, students will explore balance, coordination, and strength while learning exciting circus arts. They will practice ball, club, and ring juggling, master the art of diabolo, flower sticks, and poi, and refine their dexterity with plate spinning and object balancing. Students will also challenge their balance and agility through stilt walking (underarm and block stilts), slackline, tight wire, rola bola, and rolling barrels. These engaging activities will help build confidence, perseverance, and a sense of accomplishment in a fun and supportive environment. We look forward to seeing them grow and thrive through this unique experience!
There will be a showcase on Friday for students to demonstrate their new circus skills to their parents. Please watch your emails on Monday, March 3, for the specific times for each classroom.
Earl Grey Playground Committee Update
EGP Design Reveal Memo - Feb 2025
Our playground design is complete and we are excited to share it! Please see the attached memo for more information and photos.
We have $43,000 left to raise from donations and will hear from the grants we have applied for in March and April.
If you or anyone you know was considering making a donation, now is the time! The brick campaign will wrap up at the end of March to allow time to engrave and plan for the bricks. If you would like to leave a message or add your name to the playground bricks please donate now. Thank you.
