Notes from yesterday's school council meeting

Here are a few things we learned at last night's school council meeting:

• Our school board trustee is hosting a Ward Forum next Tuesday evening at Clairlea. Details here. 

• Friday April 17 is spring photo day. Photos will be sent home but there is no obligation to purchase. 

• Friday is also the day Clairlea is participating in the city-wide cleanup. Clairlea kids will help to clean up the schoolyard and surrounding area. 

• Running club is active on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. They'll be doing a 5km run on Sat May 23. Details on the running club blog. 

• The snack program is delayed due to facilities issues (industrial fridge and dishwasher), but will likely begin in early May. Cost will be $5 per month for a twice-weekly snack that includes a dairy, grain and fruit/vegetable. 

• May 4-8 is mental health week at the TDSB. There will be a parent event on Tuesday May 5 (6:30pm) with speaker Michael Eisen. 

• April 24 is Eco Freako day and a Panther assembly. 

• Movie night is May 1: Night at the Museum 3

• Clairlea's Fun Fair will be the evening of Thursday June 18, featuring jumpy castles, a rock climbing wall, fire truck, mounted police and more. Adult volunteers are needed; please email Irit if you can help. We also need cakes, candy jars and raffle prizes.   UPDATED: this event has been postponed to 2016.
