In September the Earl Beatty community raised $1,357 to support the Terry Fox Walk of Hope.
This is an outstanding effort and was $557 over the original goal—and well over last year's fund raising achievements.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make this possible!

Week 3 Update
Please note that as part of on-going teacher job action Curriculum Night has been cancelled.
At the last school council meeting, it was suggested that a parent committee be formed to review the challenges involved in the integration of two new programs to Earl Beatty: full-day kindergarten and French immersion senior kindergarten. This committee will brainstorm lessons learned and solutions that can be shared with the school. Two kindergarten parents have volunteered to lead this "kindergarten advisory group". If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Idella Sturino (sturino@gmail.com) and Carla Eastwood (carla_eastwood@gmail.com). It's a short-term commitment for a long-term gain for our school, so please give some serious thought to participating.
