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!

Teacher Luncheon on June 26th

On Wednesday, June 26th the Earl Beatty Parent Council will be putting on a Teacher Luncheon for our fantastic teachers. 

If you would like to contribute food or drink to this event your generosity would be much appreciated! The EB staff were so touched by our "welcome back after Xmas" luncheon that it would be a great way for us to show them, as they head off for summer, how much they mean to us. Cook up your favourite dish or contribute salads, cold cuts, cheese, fruit, or sweet treats. If you don't have time to cook, we also need beverages (sparkly water, juices, or pop).

Please contact Sheila Philcox at sphilcox@rogers.com if you can help us out so we can make sure we have everything we need for the event.  

Thank you!

Get Your Earl Beatty T-Shirt Before the School Year Ends!

Last Call for Earl Beatty T-shirts!  I'm sure by now you've seen the new Earl Beatty Bulldog t-shirt at the Fun Fair and around the school yard. The winning design by EB parent, Victoria Shearman, is taking the playground by storm!  We are hoping to use these t-shirts for school groups and events, as well for field trips and other outings.

These new shirts are just in time for summer and are being sold at a special early bird price of just $10! Check your Thursday folder for a t-shirt order form and send it back to school by Thursday, June 13th. In the fall they will go up to $15, so get yours now! 

We have kids AND adult sizes so outfit the whole family in EB wear! If you have any questions please email Sheila Philcox at sphilcox@rogers.com.
