Hello! Please consider joining us for our next School Council meeting! Did you know that School Councils are legislated and mandatory in Alberta? Did you know that as a guardian of a child at our school you are automatically a voting member of our School Council? We do more than just fundraise! We exist to advocate for our children at all levels - at our local schools, division and ministry!
We are meeting a half of an hour before our regular scheduled School Council meeting this month to review information, resolutions and outcomes from the Alberta School Council Association's (ASCA) conference and AGM. If you've ever been curious about School Council (or thought we existed solely to fundraise), please consider joining us:
Monday, May 13 at 1:00 for the Pre-Session
Monday, May 13 at 1:30 for the regular School Council Meeting
*If you would like to join virtually that is an option as well!
HOT LUNCH:
If you love to cook and would like to volunteer in the kitchen or to do the grocery shopping for our in-house lunches, the School Council is offering to pay for parents to take their Food Safe course. Contact Priscilla or Nancy for more information: eolrshotlunches@gmail.com.
We are also always grateful for parents willing to do pick-ups, delivery, and handing out food to classrooms.
May:
May 10 Panago Pizza Day
May 16 Chicken Fingers Day Made At School
May 23 Rice Krispie Treats Day Made At School
May 31 Wrap Day Made At School
Fundraising:
Please submit your Growing Smiles fundraiser forms ASAP! Fundraiser closes on Sunday, May 5th. This is a great way to get good quality plants and flowers for our Spring planting while supporting our children. You can submit your orders online using a credit card or submit in person to the office with cash or cheque. Spring is just around the corner! We promise!
Upcoming Events:
Silent Auction! Community members and businesses have generously donated some amazing (and valuable!) items for our school to auction! All proceeds raised directly benefit our school community and children. This year we are hosting the auction online. It is live NOW and will close on May 10th. Check it out here:

Family Dance Night - THIS FRIDAY!! FRIDAY, MAY 3 A NIGHT AT THE BEACH! Come for an evening of fun for the whole family. DJ, dancing, food and more! This has always been a family favourite event. Don't worry about supper! Bring the whole family, purchase supper, dance and have fun! There will also be a silent auction this year filled with amazing donated items. Every penny spent on food or at the auction directly benefits our school and children! See you there!
If you would like to help plan, coordinate or help with any of these events we do need volunteers. Please email eolrschoolcouncilfundraising@gmail.com if you're able to volunteer.
Feel free to reach out to our Executive Council members with any questions, concerns, suggestions, or interests! Every parent/guardian of a child at EOLRS is eligible to vote and participate on Council. Please consider joining us!
