Thank you, Clairlea!

I'm remiss in not posting this earlier -- but wasn't the Fun Fair great??? Huge thanks to all of the volunteers who put it together, especially Irit, Wayne, Wendy, Russ, Carl, Joanne and the other lead volunteers (I'm sure I'm missing some - I'm sorry) as well as all the teachers and parents who volunteered their time; the companies and community members who donated food, supplies, prizes, auction items, cakes and candy jars; and of course all of you -- the wonderful Clairlea families who came to support and enjoy the event.

I haven't heard a final tally but word is that the Fun Fair raised a terrific amount toward sports equipment at Clairlea. Thank you and congratulations!

Fun Fair tonight!

The weather looks perfect for the Fun Fair tonight! See you at school between 5:30-8:30pm.

All proceeds will go towards sports equipment for Clairlea kids.
