2. The welcome back barbecue (5pm) and curriculum night (6pm) are on Thursday September 21. Details here.

Can you volunteer at the Fun Fair June 22?

Volunteers are still needed for the Clairlea Fun Fair on Thursday June 22, 5:30-8:30pm. 

Even if you can only give an hour or two, this would be greatly appreciated by the people manning the stations who would welcome a break and/or some time to enjoy the fair with their children. 

If you can help, please email clairleacouncil@gmail.com. Many teachers are volunteering their time and it's important to show them that we parents are as committed as they are.

The fair will be tons of fun with some great new bouncy castles, airbrush tattoos, an ice cream truck, a Lego competition and more. Start making your Lego creation now!
