A message from the Chair

Below is a message from the School Council chair:

Dear Clairlea Families...

The count down has started, only 5 more school days until the Clairlea Fun Fair is here on Thursday June 19th from 5:30-8:00pm.  Things are coming together and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there enjoying all the fun activities. Over the next week I will be describing the different events and activities that will take place at the Fun Fair.  Please see below for the first group of activities "What is happening inside the school"...

PLEASE HELP:

HELP - LITTLE CANDY JARS:  We are in need of candy jars to be used as prizes for the Lollipop Pull game.  If you could put together one, two or twelve jars and fill them with candy please drop them off at the office anytime from now up until the Fun Fair.  If you don't have jars you can use little bags of candy as well.  Feel free to decorate your jars.

HELP - CAKES: We need cakes for the Cake walk room.  If you are an amatuer baker or of professional caliber we need you to bake a fabulous creation or two and bring it to room 101 on the day of the Fun Fair.  The more cakes we have the longer this room can stay open for fun and the more delicious cakes you can win to take home.  Rember all cakes must be peanut/allergen free.  Please send along a card with your cake to indicate what type of cake it is and any contents we should be aware of.

HELP - THE PRINCESS ROOM:  We need boas, tiaras, sparkly shoes and princess dresses.  Have a look and see what your little princess isn't using anymore or has multiples of and please donate it to the Princess Room for all the Royals to enjoy!!  Drop off any items in the bin in front of the main office from now until the Fun Fair.

HELP - RAFFLE PRIZES: If you have a raffle prize (new product, service or certificate) you or your company would like to donate for the raffle table please contact us at clairleacouncil@gmail.com or drop off the item in the main office marked "raffle item" and we will take it from there.

HELP - VENDOR MARKET SPOT:  Do you have a budding business you want to promote to all of our wonderful Fun Fair attendees.  Purchase a spot in our vendor market for only $15/spot.  Email us at clairleacouncil@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Tables and chairs are the responsibility of the Vendor.

WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE SCHOOL:

Station A:  The Train Room - Come to room 110 as it will be filled with tracks and trains to play and build.  Watch a video or listen to a story.  If that's not enough make a train craft too!  All good fun for the the train loving child in your life.  The cost to enter this room is 2 tickets per child or show your Fun Pass wristband and come straight in.  Tickets and Fun Passes can be purchased outside at station X.  We ask that parent/guardians stay with the kids in this room as there will be ample picture opportunities.

Station B: The Princess Room - Come to room 109 as it will be filled with dresses, fancy slippers, tiaras and more.  Watch a video or listen to a story.  To finish off the look make a bling ring craft to be the star of the show.  The cost to enter this room is 2 tickets per child or show your Fun Pass wristband and come straight in.  Tickets and Fun Passes can be purchased outside at station X.  We ask that parent/guardians stay with the kids in this room as there will be ample picture opportunities.

Station C: The Rainbow Loom Room - Come to room 112 and be sure to bring your loom for a fun time of creativity.  Our loom experts will help you make some fun stretchy creations.  If you have an extra loom bring it too and share with a friend.  We will supply the elastics.  The cost to enter this room is 2 tickets per child or show your Fun Pass wristband and come straight in.  Tickets and Fun Passes can be purchased outside at station X. 

Station D: Bingo - Come to the Staff room and play a round of Bingo and possibly win a prize  The cost to enter this room is $1 or 1 ticket per Bingo sheet.  Try your luck at the age old game.  Tickets are purchased outside at station X.  Fun Passes are not accepted in this room.

Station E: The Cake Walk - Come to room 101 and play a game and win a delicious prize.  How do you play?  Well think of a betty crocker version of musical chairs.  Each person pays a ticket or a dollar to enter the cake round.  The music is played and everyone walks around in a circle.  When the music stops everyone scrambles to find a designated spot.  If you didn't find a spot you are out and it starts again. The music is played and the remaining people walk around and when the music stops, scramble to find a spot and you continue until the last person standing wins the delicious prize of their choice.  Come early so that you can have your choice of cake.  Tickets can be purchsed outside at station X.  Fun Passes are not accepted in this room.   When we run out of cakes that is when the room shuts down.

WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:

Volunteer Tea: It is that time of year again the Staff at Clairlea are hosting a Volunteer Tea on Tuesday June 17th from 8:30am - 10:00am in the Staff room.  If you have volunteered for a school trip, helped out in the class, distributed Scholastic items, Counted Pizza money, helped in the library, donated items to the school, worked a movie night, volunteered for the Halloween Howl or any other school event, drove some kids to a trip or event, or just helped behind the scenes, or participated in School Council meetings - this is for you!!   You are invited to this Volunteer Tea in thanks from the Clairea Staff for your time, effort and contributions to help make Clairlea a better place.

Last Pizza Lunch:  We have added one more pizza lunch this year that will take place on Wednesday June 18th.  If you have prepaid for pizza lunch for the year that option ended with May's pizza lunch so if you want Pizza next week you would have to submit your order and payment.  Thank you to all that ordered throughout the year you helped make Pizza lunch a great success.  Next year we will look into providing a milk option with pizza lunch so stay tuned!!

Clairlea Staff Auction Results:  Wow!  This was was a big hit.  We have contacted the winners of each of the 28 activities and are in the process of arranging all the events with the staff.  Once you pay for your activity the teacher/staff member associated with it will then contact the winning child to make arrangements.  We managed to raise close to $1300.00  We will look at doing this again next year.  Thank you to everyone that bid! 

Reminder:

There will not be a School Council meeting in June.  We will meet again in September.
