Eatonville Parent Council Update
May 2019

Next Meeting
Join us at the next parent council meeting on Wednesday May 29 at 3:30pm in the library. Come out and meet our local TDSB Trustee Dan MacLean and hear more about the new redevelopment plans that are in the works for our school playground. As this will be the last meeting of the year we will also be doing some preliminary planning for the fall, I know that’s hard to think about as we have barely seen spring at this point 😊


Its finally here … our new website

Its early days but we have a new place on the web to keep our community up to date! Come check us out and bookmark it as we will be updating the site over the coming weeks.

Dance-a-thon
Just a reminder that the annual dance-a-thon has been moved to this coming Friday May 3rd!  Thank you to those who have already generously submitted donations and as always, we will continue to accept them right up to the day of the event!

Proceeds last year helped to fund class trips, visits from Scientists in School, and the purchase of new rain day activities in each classroom. This year we are aiming to fund more visits and other events for the students, but we have an additional item to think about, the playground redevelopment that is now in the plans.

Parent Council has decided that we will maintain the events we always have but if we raise a bit more than other years, we will be able to put some funds towards the playground project as well! Your support this year is so much appreciated! We will let you know more about the playground plans in the weeks to come.

Fit Night
The first Eatonville Fit Night will take place on the evening of Wednesday June 5.
 More information will come soon but as June tends to get busy, mark your calendars now because you will not want to miss out! Alternatively, keep up with the website as we will post updates there too!

Spring Cleaning ????
If you have thought about doing some spring cleaning around your home, please consider donating to Eatonville any balls, skipping ropes, or hula hoops that your family may no longer want. With better weather our recess carts get a lot of use and some extra equipment would be wonderful for the kids! If you have questions, please contact the school office.
