WOW! What a memorable week at Earl Grey! From our first School Council meeting to the incredible Playground Celebration and our inspiring Terry Fox Run, the school was buzzing with energy and community spirit. A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers, staff, and students who made this such a fantastic week at Earl Grey School!

As always reach out to the school if you have any questions about the weekly update.

A Message from the Playground Committee

Thank you. Two simple words that hold so much—and today, the Playground Committee’s buckets are full after the celebration of the new playground.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and helped in any way. It was a success because of the amazing teamwork and commitment we’ve had.

A special thank you to John and Edith with Maple Studio who produced a fantastic video of the playground installation. While it was hard to view during the bright, sunny celebration, you can now watch it here:


Play on! Play well, play hard, and play often. Enjoy the playground!
