PARENTING WITHOUT ANGER

On Thursday, April 8, 2010, Earl Beatty School Advisory Council is pleased to present FREE OF CHARGE "Parenting Without Anger", with Karen Skinulis from ParenTalk (www.practicalparenting.ca). All parents get angry, but if you feel that anger is having a negative impact on your family, this workshop is for you. In it you will learn how to recognize and cope with anger triggers, the positive and negative aspects of anger, why you get angry, the impact of anger on your children, and how to change the cycle of anger through the learning and development of essential parenting skills.

The workshop will run from 7:00-8:30 p.m. and will be held in the Earl Beatty lunchroom. The room capacity is 163, so please come early to ensure your place at this exciting workshop. Childcare will be provided.

The Ministry of Education Parents Reaching Out grant has generously supported this event.

Catching up with Earl Beatty's ECO/Green Team: Planting Native Plants at Earl Beatty

Last spring, Earl Beatty students, staff and parents planted several native plants in the schoolyard as part of the ongoing schoolyard naturalization project. This initiative was financially assisted by Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds, which supports local, sustainable greening projects in schoolyards, parks and communities across Canada. Much appreciation and admiration to everyone involved for their hard work that day!

The Fun Fair needs a new Committee

Dear Parents, for the past several weeks notes have been coming home in the Thursday folder about the need for a new Fun Fair Committee. Earl Beatty's Fun Fair is the largest fundraiser of the year and needs enthusiastic and creative parents to organize it.

Past Fun Fairs have raised money to fund the following major items: computer lab furniture, audio-visual equipment, curtains for the gym stage, curriculum enhancement programs, and a smartboard.

The Fair takes place at the end of May and the planning of it should start in January to make sure everything runs smoothly.

The old Committee is happy to help with the handover and has all the information needed to plan the Fair.

If you're interested in being part of the new Fun Fair Committee please contact: Tina Lehtola, tinaslehtolaAThotmailDOT.com.

Earl Beatty Receives $4000 in funding!

The Earl Beatty Greening Team and Eco Committee is pleased to announce that our school has received funding from the City of Toronto Clean and Beautiful City Fund for our current and future greening projects around the school. Our application was sent in to Clean and Beautiful via Councillor Janet Davis' office, who passed on the good news of our success at the end of November.



The plan is to use part of the funds for our current - The Native Garden and Learning Circle - and for future projects, which will be decided through inputs from students and staff.



How much beautiful and clean, you ask? $4000!! Thanks to the City of Toronto's Clean and Beautiful Fund and to our dedicated team of Green volunteers who submitted the application. One more step in making Earl Beatty a beautiful place to be!

Make a difference - join the new Fun Fair Committee!

Dear Parents,

Your creative ideas and enthusiasm are needed to form a new Fun Fair Committee for this school year! The Fun Fair, held in May, is 5 years old but is in need of a new group of parents to organize it.

If you'd like to make a difference at your child's school please consider being on the Committee. It's a great way to meet people and work with them towards a common goal, that being organizing the largest fundraiser of the year for Earl Beatty.

The old Committee is committed to helping with the handover and has all the Fair information in an easy to use binder (processes, contact information, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and much more).

Thank you,
