Earl Beatty Community Centre Pool Update

An Announcement from the Community Centre:


Hello Everyone,

We have cancelled all leisure & lane swimming until further notice due to inadequate lighting levels in the pool area.

We have relocated our Swimming Lessons to Monarch Park Outdoor Pool @ 115 Felstead Ave.

We are hopeful the TDSB will resolve this issue quickly, however, we have not been advised of an estimated completion date.

For other locations' swim information, please visit: http://www.toronto.ca/parks/prd/swimming/index.htm

Thank you for choosing Earl Beatty Pool!

Garden Summer Care

Thanks to all our volunteers who will be taking care of the gardens this summer!

Here is the final watering schedule for the Earl Beatty gardens from Liza. 
 What to do is located both in the introduction to the garden and at the bottom of the schedule. If you still have a question, you can email Liza at
liza.ordubegian@gmail.com. 

If you are unable to do your week, or need to switch weeks, you have access to the other families via the e-mail listed on the schedule.

With great thanks, have fun watering.

Eco-Leadership Camp This Summer

This year, TREC Education (Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative) has teamed up with the Kew Beach Public School Community and the Bluffs Advocate to offer a unique eco-leadership camp for students aged 9-13 years (Grades 4-8) in our Ward.

 

Campers can register for one 1-week session.  Sessions will run the last two weeks in August.

 

So that the camp is available to anyone who is interested, bursaries are being offered to students who may need financial assistance. Bussing and lunch is also provided.

 

Registration forms and more information can also be found on the website: http://kewbeachecocamp.wordpress.com

 

Make Your Voice Heard for Safety!

On Monday mornings, the large City of Toronto front-loader garbage truck arrives at Earl Beatty between 8:30 and 8:45 to empty the garbage bin that is located just outside of the school library. 

To do this, the truck must drive up over the sidewalk and onto the school property right beside the main entrance for the school and the daycare at the busiest time of the day. Students and parents are walking all about and cars are parked on both sides of the street for drop-off. It is dangerous to have such a large vehicle at the school just as the bell goes.

PLEASE make your voice heard and call the City at 311 and ask for the garbage pick up to be rescheduled to a time when students are in class. If enough people advocate for change now we should see a safer school next September!

Get Caught Wearing Yours!

How Far Will We Go?

This summer when you are on vacation take a photo of yourself wearing your Earl Beatty T-shirt and send it to us!  

 

In the fall we will make a collage of our students wearing our EB t-shirts around our province and around the world!  How far will our students go? France? China? Cuba? Who knows? 

 

We will put out a reminder on the blog and in the first newsletter in the fall but if you want to email photos as you take them please send to Sheila Philcox at sphilcox@rogers.com.  

 

Have a great summer everyone!
