Hello Earl Grey Families,

Earl Grey Playground Palooza Fundraiser 

The Playground Palooza is a fun-filled fundraiser throughout October where each class competes to raise money for our new playground! The winning classroom will celebrate with a Pizza Party, and the child who raises the most funds will get to be Principal for the Day!  Please see the attached information sheet and posters:

Casino October 21 and 22, 2024 – We need you to volunteer!

Earl Grey has been lucky enough to secure Casino date!  Casino Fundraising is our single biggest fundraiser. In 2 days we are able to raise between $60,000- $80,000 for the school. The proceeds go directly towards supporting student learning. Funds are used towards program-related equipment, resource materials, and our Playground Revitalization Project.

Thank you to all our past volunteers! I hope we can count on your support again this time!

Blaze Pizza Back-to-School Socials & Fundraisers

You and your family are invited to join us!  

This year, Blaze Pizza is booked approximately once a month where we will host a school social and fundraiser. 

On September 26, from 4:00 until 8:00 pm, come to the restaurant and mention that you are part of the fundraiser; Earl Grey School Parent Council will receive 25% of the restaurant sales.   

These funds directly benefit our school by supporting events and programs such as literacy, art residencies, playground revitalization, school concerts, and more!  

Moreover, it is a fabulous opportunity to connect with other families in our community!

If you cannot attend the social, you can order online for pickup.  Simply use this fundraising code: 1107A.

If you are on a timeline, you can pre-order on the Blaze Pizza app so your meal is ready when you arrive.

Your friends and extended family are also invited to join these events in support of Earl Grey School.

Blaze Pizza is located at 2032 - 4th Street SW.

See you there!
