On Wednesday Oct. 2 the Clairlea School Council (also known as Parent Council) held an evening meeting to plan the annual Halloween Howl. Parents and teens interested in helping out with the Howl were invited to attend.
At the meeting, a plan for the event was drafted including roles and tasks. In light of recent news, there was also a thoughtful discussion on the status of the Howl given the current work to rule and possible impending strike of support staff.
The group came to a decision that the event will happen (on Oct 25th) as planned only if the labour issue is resolved by Friday, October 11. By resolved we mean that a deal has been struck between the two sides.
To be clear this means that event will be cancelled if there is a) a strike b) work to rule or if c) a strike and workers have been legislated back to work.
If the Halloween Howl is cancelled we will be planning a Winter event fundraiser to both recoup the revenue lost and build the Clairlea spirit.
All that being said, we ask that parents NOT wait to bring in candy donations to the main office! We will need A LOT of candy if the Howl is happening.
In the event the Howl is cancelled, parent council will distribute the donated candy to all Clairlea students on Halloween.
We appreciate your support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Laura Strachan
