Thank you for a great evening
Thank you to everyone who came to the fun fair, to all the teachers and parents who volunteered, to the sponsors and especially to the incomparable Irit Hartman, our school council chair, and her hard-working and energetic team of volunteers. I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone at Clairlea when I say thank you for everything that you do for the school.

Dear Clairlea Families...

is the big day from 5:30pm-8:00pm. Please see below for MORE activities
under "What is happening at the Fun Fair"...
PLEASE HELP:
HELP – RAINBOW LOOM ROOM: We need help
running our Loom Room. If you have Loom experience and you know how to
make a bracelet or a charm (or know someone who does) please come help us make
this room a fun place to be. Please email clairleacouncil@gmail.com
to confirm your availability.
HELP – AFTER THE FUN FAIR: We are looking
for a few people to help tear down stations after the Fun Fair. This
means putting away tables and chairs and general cleanup. If you are
available to help please email us at clairleacouncil@gmail.com to confirm your
availability. Clean up will take place from 8:00pm-9:00pm.
HELP - LITTLE CANDY JARS: We are in need of
candy jars to be used as prizes for the Lollipop Pull game. If you
could put together one, two or twelve jars and fill them with candy please drop
them off at the office anytime from now up until the Fun Fair. If you don't
have jars you can use little bags of candy as well. Feel free to decorate
your jars.
HELP - CAKES: We need cakes for the Cake walk
room. If you are an amateur baker or of professional caliber we need you
to bake a fabulous creation or two and bring it to room 101 on the day of the
Fun Fair. The more cakes we have the longer this room can stay open for
fun and the more delicious cakes you can win to take home. Remember all
cakes must be peanut/allergen free. Please send along a card with your
cake to indicate what type of cake it is and any contents we should be aware
of. The most ideal scenario would be if you can drop off the cake in
room 101 at the start of the Fun Fair.
HELP - THE PRINCESS ROOM: We need boas,
tiaras, sparkly shoes and princess dresses. Have a look and see what your
little princess isn't using anymore or has multiples of and please donate it to

WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE SCHOOL:
Station A: The Train Room - Come to room
110 as it will be filled with tracks and trains to play and build. Watch
a video or listen to a story. If that's not enough make a train craft
too! All good fun for the the train loving child in your life. The
cost to enter this room is 2 tickets per child or show your Fun Pass wristband
and come straight in. Tickets and Fun Passes can be purchased outside at
station X. We ask that parent/guardians stay with the kids in this room
as there will be ample picture opportunities.
Station B: The Princess Room - Come to room
109 as it will be filled with dresses, fancy slippers, tiaras and more.
Watch a video or listen to a story. To finish off the look make a
bling ring craft to be the star of the show. The cost to enter this room

age old game. Tickets are purchased outside at station X. Fun
Passes are not accepted in this room.
Station E: The Cake Walk - Come to room 101
and play a game and win a delicious prize. How do you play? Well
think of a betty crocker version of musical chairs. Each person pays a
ticket or a dollar to enter the cake round. The music is played and
everyone walks around in a circle. When the music stops everyone
scrambles to find a designated spot. If you didn't find a spot you are
out and it starts again. The music is played and the remaining people walk
around and when the music stops, scramble to find a spot and you continue until
the last person standing wins the delicious prize of their choice. Come
early so that you can have your choice of cake. Tickets can be purchsed
outside at station X. Fun Passes are not accepted in this
room. When we run out of cakes that is when the room shuts down.
WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
Volunteer Tea: It is that time
of year again the Staff at Clairlea are hosting a Volunteer Tea on Tuesday June
17th from 8:30am - 10:00am in the Staff room. If you have volunteered for
a school trip, helped out in the class, distributed Scholastic items,
Counted Pizza money, helped in the library, donated items to the school, worked
a movie night, volunteered for the Halloween Howl or any other school event,

participated in School Council meetings - this is for you!! You are
invited to this Volunteer Tea in thanks from the Clairea Staff for your
time, effort and contributions to help make Clairlea a better place.
Last Pizza Lunch: We have
added one more pizza lunch this year that will take place on Wednesday June
18th. If you have prepaid for pizza lunch for the year that option ended
with May's pizza lunch so if you want Pizza next week you would have to submit
your order and payment. Thank you to all that ordered throughout the year
you helped make Pizza lunch a great success. Next year we will look into
providing a milk option with pizza lunch so stay tuned!!
Clairlea Staff Auction Results: Wow!
This was was a big hit. We have contacted the winners of each of the 28
activities and are in the process of arranging all the events with the
staff. Once you pay for your activity the teacher/staff member associated
with it will then contact the winning child to make arrangements. We
managed to raise close to $1300.00 We will look at doing this again
next year. Thank you to everyone that bid!
