WHAT DO YOU THINK?….

1. A proposal will be put forth regarding pizza lunch for the month of June.  The pizza lunch program runs for 9 months from September until May.  Then as a special offer to schools Pizza Pizza then provides the school with pizza for the month of June for free equal to the average amount that was spent from month to month throughout the school year.  We are proposing that the School Council top up the amount and provide free pizza to the entire school for anyone that wants it for the June Pizza Lunch.  What do you think?

2. Parents Reaching Out grants – Please view the link and bring any suggestions or questions to the April meeting.  Application deadline is May 21.   http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/parents/reaching.HTML

SPIRIT WEAR…

The spirit wear campaign was a success and all the items have been distributed to the classes.  Please remember to preserve the size and limit shrinking it is suggested that all items are washed first with like colours, with no bleach and air dry the first time.   If you have ordered a water bottle please label it prior to use.  We have started a new fundraising campaign with Mabel's labels and we will be providing labels for the water bottles for those that require it.  We will send out an email once the labels arrive.  Please also label all your spirit wear clothing in an effort to keep it out of the lost and found.  If you order labels through our personalized Clairlea Mabel’s Labels website we will receive a percentage of the profits.  The Mabel’s Labels fundraising campaign is open today until the end of the school year.  The website to place your order is:  http://www.clairlea.mabelslabels.com/.
