We Need Your Help!
Home and School needs your help!

The Nutrition Program runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and will be running until the end of the school year. People can contact us and come in any week to see how easy it is to pack the bins. If you are able to help in any way, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. Please contact us at [email protected].
Kirkendall Neighbourhood Food Drive
The Kirkendall Neighbourhood Food Drive is coming up on Saturday, May 7th and they are looking for our help. To support the food drive, Earl Kitchener will be holding a mini food drive within the next few weeks. As a result, a couple of Mission Services food barrels will be placed at the school where food donations can be dropped off. At the end of our mini food drive, Mission Services will come and pick up the barrels, weigh them, and let us know how many pounds of food were collected by Earl Kitchener. Your food donation would be greatly appreciated!
Piano Lessons at Earl Kitchener
It is now time to register for in-school piano lessons at Earl Kitchener for next September. Due to a Board of Education policy, lessons are on a semi-private basis, and take place once a week during school hours. Students must have a piano or full-size keyboard at home on which to practice. For more information, please contact Susan Chambers-Stothart at [email protected] or (905) 522-4303.
Have a great week!
