Chair's update

A message from School Council chair Irit Hartman:

Dear Clairlea Families,

I hope that you are having a safe and happy March Break.  There are a few things coming up that I've listed below.  Please find attached the minutes and treasurer's report from our last council meeting in February. [click here for attachments - draft minutes & treasurer's report]

Next Council Meeting:

Our next meeting will be held on Wed March 20th at 7pm.  Please see the agenda below.  A couple of things to note for March's meeting: I was contacted by Councillor Michelle Berardinetti's (Ward 35 Scarborough Southwest) asking if she could attend our March meeting as she wanted to see how we are doing and answer any questions or concerns that any of you may have.  So if you have questions or you just want to meet her please come out to the meeting.  She will be there at 7pm.  The agenda listed below may change to reflect a question and answer period at the beginning of the meeting with the councillor and the remaining items will be pushed back respectively.  Secondly to all of you that ordered frozen cookie dough it will be ready for pickup at 7pm at the meeting.  As we do not the facilities to store a large amount of frozen goods please ensure that you or that you've arranged for someone to pick up on your behalf at the school on March 20th at 7pm.  Any items that have not been picked up on the night will be eaten :)

As a side note: I will not be in attendance for the March meeting as I will be away but I leave you in the capable hands of our Vice Chair Christina Auger who will be running the meeting as well as the rest of the council executive.

Spirit Wear:

The spirit wear orders have been sent in and are being completed as you read this email.  We expect the orders to come in at the end of March.  I'm sorry but no more late orders will be accepted.

Thank you to everyone that provided feedback on the pizza lunch suggestions for the next year.  The consensus seems to be at this point that once a month is enough or at most twice a month.  We will also continue to look into other avenues for healthy food choices available in the school in addition to the pizza days.  Keep the ideas and suggestions coming.

Best Regards,

Irit
