WHAT'S COMING UP.....

PIZZA LUNCH… (MONEY ORDER ENVELOPES ARE DUE THIS THURSDAY JANUARY 22ND) Pizza lunch will take place on Wednesday January 28^th.  Please note this is NOT when the pizza lunch envelope orders are due.  Due to the large volume of pizza that needs to be ordered for the school we need to place the order a few days prior to the actual pizza lunch date.  That means if a child submits their order late there is a risk that your child may not receive pizza because they would not have been part of the original order.  Please make an effort to submit your orders on time as per the date on the envelope and not on the date of the actual pizza lunch, as well please take a moment to carefully fill out the form.  From time to time we do receive orders with missing information.  If there is information lacking on your order we will default to 2 cheese slices and water.

MOVIE NIGHT…   (JANUARY 30^TH)  Our first movie of 2015 is “THE BOXTROLLS”.  (see flyer attached) The movie will take place in the gym on Friday January 30^th at 7:00pm sharp.  Entrance is $2 per person (child or adult) and the movie is available to children grade six and under.  Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Popcorn and drinks will be available for sale during the movie.  We encourage children to come in pajamas and bring blankets and pillows if they like and get comfortable in the gym for a fun family night.

CLAIRLEA FUNFAIR…(COMING IN JUNE 2015) I know it’s cold outside and it’s hard to imagine it but we have started to plan the Clairlea Funfair.  Last year was a great success brining in close to $5000 in profits going to our Clairlea Reading Program.  Thanks to all that attended and the hard work of all the volunteers.  We want to do it again and to get the ball rolling we have our first planning meeting on Wednesday February 3^rd at 7:00pm at the School.  If you want to be a part of this big event and have ideas please email us at clairleacouncil@gmail.com to confirm your attendance for the planning meeting.  What do you think we should do with the funds raised from the 2015 Funfair?
