A Great Day at the Races!


Yesterday many Earl Beatty Students participated in TDSB's Track and Field day at the Beach.
Despite chilly temperature, the wind, and some rain it was a lot of fun. 

The Primaries ran 1.5 km, Juniors ran 2.0 km, and Seniors 3.0 km!

Some of the notable competitors were:
Tessa H in Grade 1 who was the first Earl Beatty runner to finish in the top 40.  
In grade 2, Maya B finished in the top 30.  
In grade 4 Aidan O , Alicja O, and Maddie B all finished in the top 30.
Spencer L and Andrew B finished in the top 60 from grade 5

The entire grade 8 class and Marianne's entire Grade 6 class participated and everybody finished the race!
Deanna R, Rachel S, and Thalia D all finished in the top 20 for Grade 8 girls.  

Congratulations to all who participated and did their best! And a big thank you to Earl Beatty teachers and parent volunteers who made this happen.

Terry Fox Walk of Hope

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!

QSP Magazine Fund Raiser


Hello friends of Earl Beatty-

Our QSP campaign launched Sept. 27, and runs until Oct 10.    
Our goal of $12,000 in magazine sales will mean nearly $4,000 for our school. Funds will help buy interactive IT for classrooms (like portable smart boards), bring scientists into the school and so much more!

Magazines can be ordered all year long, but the great prizes are only available for the next 2 weeks. More information is available in the attached flyer.  Click here to explore QSP and purchase magazines now!  
Catalogues and detailed information on the prizes was sent home with student folders on September 27. Thanks again for your support!
