December Calendar and Weekly Updates
December Calendar
Toonie Tuesday’s
Toonie Tuesday’s starts this Tuesday, December 1st. Kernel popcorn bags are $2 each. Flavour choices are Kettle Corn, Butter, & Low Fat Caramel. All proceeds go towards the Earl Kitchener Nutrition Program.
Absences
It is a Board policy to ensure each and every child arrives to school safely. As a result, we ask that you please keep us informed if your child will be absent due to illness, an appointment, vacation plans, etc. Our phone lines are open 24-hours a day, and you can leave a detailed voicemail message by calling (905) 528-0223. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Pick Up Arrangements
Please be sure to make necessary pick up arrangements ahead of time, inform your child, and write a note in the agenda so your teacher is made aware of the pick up. Unfortunately the office is very busy especially at the beginning and at the end of the day, and we can’t always get your calls on time. By writing down pick up instructions, this will ensure all parties are notified well in advance.
Wesley’s Christmas Store
In keeping with Earl Kitchener’s tradition of ‘The Giving Tree’, we will be collecting donations of knitted goods, new, unwrapped toys, and gifts as well as non-perishable food items. These items will be donated to Wesley’s Christmas Store which provides those in need with the opportunity to shop for free to choose food and gifts. This program serves many individuals and families each year. Please drop off your donations by the tree in the front foyer of Earl Kitchener by Friday, December 11th. Thank you very much!!

A good book is always a good choice for your child!
EK CD’s and Water Bottls
The Earl Kitchener CD’s are a great holiday gift! CD’s are only $20, and an extra $5 gets a commemorative school water bottle (pictures attached). Proceeds are earmarked for a much needed stage lighting system in the auditorium. And with every order, you will also receive a free colouring poster by artist Joe Ollman for each child in the family. The campaign ends on December 9th, so get your orders in now to avoid disappointment. (Both CDs and water bottles will be distributed during the last week before the break.)

Friday, December 18th is Spirit Day at EK so don’t forget to wear your PJ’s!
