2019/2020 School Council: A message from the Chair

Dear Clairlea Families....

I hope everyone had a relaxing summer and you are looking forward to a great school year ahead.  I would like to congratulate all the wonderful parent and student volunteers, staff of Clairlea and Community vendors that made this past June's Funfair a resounding success.  We raised $4000 dollars towards the cool the school program and this newly elected School Council will have the opportunity to implement those funds.
I have had a tremendous opportunity to be the School Council Chair for the last eight years which enabled me to work closely with many Clairlea families, Clairlea staff and the Clairlea community.  As my babies are in high school and nearing high school I have chosen to retire from Clairlea School Council and cheer on all the wonderful parents that are more than capable to step into the role.  Thank you to all for the years of support and kind emails. 
The first school council meeting will take place this Wednesday September 18th.  As it is the first meeting of the year it will be run by the School administration until the election takes place.  The meeting details are as follows:

Wednesday Sept 18th
7:00pm-8:30pm
School Staff Room
Child minding is provided

The main focus of this meeting will be to elect the new school council executive which consists of the following roles....(I promise these roles are not as intimidating as they seem.  Come out to a meeting and carve your own way of helping out in a way that works for you!)

School Council Chair
Treasurer
Fundraising Chair
Secretary

I have attached a nomination form below to be completed by anyone that wants to be involved in the Clairlea School Council in any capacity.  Even if you just want to be included in the email distribution list.  Also if you want to run for a position please complete the attached form and bring it to the meeting this Wednesday or drop it off to the office in advance.

I wish everyone the best in the upcoming year and I hope that you will continue to be involved in your child's education as much as you are able.

Kind regards,
Irit
