Hello Earl Grey Families,

Playground Committee Call for Volunteers and Information Session

We hope this message finds you well. We have an exciting opportunity to get involved in a crucial project for our beloved Earl Grey School.

The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) has mandated the replacement of our current playground. To kickstart this initiative, we are hosting a brief but informative Zoom meeting on February 13 at 7 PM. This 30-minute session will provide essential details about the new playground project and volunteer opportunities. We encourage all parents to attend, especially those who would consider volunteering on the committee.

The goal is to have the new playground installed by the end of summer 2025. To achieve this, we need your active participation. Your insights and support are invaluable in shaping the future of our school environment.

Please join us on February 13 to learn more about the project timeline, objectives, and how you can contribute. We understand the demands on your time, so rest assured the meeting will be a concise 30-minute update.
