Hello Earl Grey Families,
School Council - Casino Sign-Up!

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!
Thursday, September 12 and Thursday, September 26 from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
This year, Blaze Pizza is booked approximately once a month where we will host a school social and fundraiser.
On September 12 and 26, from 4:00 PM 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.
