DEAR CLAIRLEA FAMILIES
Please find attached the Clairlea School Council draft minutes for the month of May 2013.  The next meeting will be held on Wednesday June 19th @ 7:00pm, see agenda below.

APRIL SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA:

WHAT’S COMING UP....?
1. FREE PIZZA: In June we will have a FREE Pizza lunch day on Wednesday June 19th.  Keep this date in mind and you will see order forms go out in early June.  What does this mean??  Every month we have a pizza lunch fundraiser on the last Wednesday of each month whereby order forms are sent home and anyone can pay and pre-order for their desired lunch.  This is a fundraiser that we have been doing all year with Pizza Pizza.  Due to the fact that we have been ordering for the last 8 months, Pizza Pizza will provide us with free pizza in the amount of what we have been ordering on average throughout the year for the month of June.    Therefore we are going to make this available to the whole school whereby any child that wants free pizza on June 19th can have it regardless of whether they have ordered throughout the year or not.  So....  however many orders come in for June 19th we will use the free pizza to cover it and any additional funds needed will be covered by the School Council.

2. MOVIE NIGHT: Our last movie night of the year will be held on Friday June 14th, featuring “Escape from Planet Earth”.  See attached flyer.

  1. Question:
    Hi,
    I was wondering why there is no any plan for SK graduation?
    We only received a letter mentioned that they will celebrate the graduation in "Classroom".
    very disappoint!

    1. Hi, it's Catharine here - school council secretary. My understanding is that SK graduation celebrations are up to the teachers; there hasn't been an official school event in several years. If that's something you'd like yo see, you should definitely join school council and voice your opinion! In the meantime, I'd suggest speaking with your child's teacher to fund out what's planned for this year. Thanks for the comment and all the best.
