EJPS Week at a Glance (Mar 4-8)
EJPS Week at a Glance (Mar 4-8)
Chers parents,
Let’s start with a reminder from our Dance-a-thon committee:
It’s that time of year again for our annual Dance-a-thon. This year’s theme is “Let’s Glow” and it will be a glow party. We are encouraging students to wear white shirts and are welcome to decorate them with glow paint ahead of time. The event will occur on Thursday March 7th throughout the day. The Dance-a-thon is another opportunity for students to raise money for our new outdoor play structure. Pledge forms will be sent home today. Here is a PDF version should it not make it home.
This year we are making it even easier to collect pledges as we have included a QR code which will direct donors directly to our EJ online donation page through Canada Helps. Donations will be accepted via cash, cheque or online, but it is important the student tracks the the amount of donations and circles how each donation was given. This is because we are offering prizes to the top three fundraisers in the school. Our friends at Long & McQuade have donated an acoustic guitar, from CTRL-V a $70 gift card, and from Funvilla a daypass for one child and adult. Tax receipts will be given to any donation over $20, but it is important for the student to write down their full name, mailing address, and donation amount. If the donation is made online this information will be required to complete the transaction, and the donor can make a note of who they are supporting in the optional message box. Reach out to your family, friends and neighbours to pledge their support, and remember to thank them for their generosity.
We are looking forward to this year’s event as we know it will be a lot of fun. Let’s GLOW!”
