EJPS Week at a Glance (Dec 11 – 15)
EJPS Week at a Glance (Dec 11 – 15)
Chers parents,
It is time for our annual food drive. Last year we made a tremendous difference, and the Guelph Food Bank had to make two trips to our school!
With the help of our junior classes, we will be continuing with our third annual
E.J.’s Week of Giving, for both our human and animal friends in our Guelph community.
Each day of the week has a different donation item that is most needed in the city of Guelph. Students will be able to bring the donation to their classroom and it will be collected at the end of the day. Donations start December 11th and go until December 15th.
Friday we will end the week wearing our school colours (green and yellow) because as a community we can make a difference for others.
Would you like to make a monetary donation? We will also be collecting for the Guelph Humane Society. Bring in a toonie any day of the week.

*All other donations not on this list will be gladly accepted and dispersed to each organization.
**You can also support any or all of these causes if you will be coming to next week’s Holiday Extravaganza.
As a reminder, we are all looking forward to the EJ Holiday Extravaganza 2023 that will be hosted in our gymnasium on December 13th. For this event, parents will not need to sign in or sign out at the office due to the expected volume. I will be monitoring the entrance and exit times at the Gym doors. Please note, due to fire regulations around our Gym’s seated capacity we will have a non-student ONLY audience. Since we recognize that students benefit from seeing each other perform, students can view their friends and/or siblings in other classes perform at the dress rehearsal the day before the actual concert. With that said, we ask that parents not sign out any children out of class to join one of the concert times to view their friends or siblings perform. Not only will this avoid crowding in the Gym but it will also avoid our office coordinator, Mme McLeod, having to administer an unmanageable amount of sign outs and sign ins. To that end, we truly appreciate your cooperation with our request which aims to uphold safety.
