Rain or Shine ... Just 2 More Sleeps

Fun Fair is now under 48 hours away and while the forecast isn't perfect, we are ready for anything! In case you are wondering, if it rains, the only thing that changes is the Fair will take place in the school, INFLATABLES and all! 

Remember, the Fun Fair is not every year and so you need to make the most of the night! Here are some tips to make sure you do not miss anything!

1. When you arrive follow the signs to pick up anything you have pre-paid (dinner combos, wristbands, punch cards). If you have not yet made purchases then you can do so at this time too. 

Wrist Bands - $25
Punch Card - 25 punches for $20 OR 10 punches for $10 
Dinner combos $7


Due to demand we will be able to sell dinner combos on the night of the event; first come first served, so order early before they run out!

2. If you can, please consider walking to the Fair! We have a very small parking lot at the best of times and for the night it will be off limits except for those who are working the event ... also a very large Red Truck of some sort is expected ..... hmmmm?). There is limited street parking in the neighbourhood.  

3. We have games, we have inflatables, and we have attractions! Back by popular demand we have Air Brush Tattoo artists attending and the cost is only $5 per tattoo. This attraction is not included in a wristband and so you will need to purchase it at the fair, but how cool to have a very professional looking Tattoo that will stick around for days! Hey, its great for parents too, who hasn't thought about a little ink at one point or another but has never been able to commit to make it permanent! 

4. While we are talking about the fun extra's here are some others: Cotton Candy $2, Popcorn $1, Samosas $2, Beef Patties $1, Candy Cups $1-$2, Bingo starting at $1, and of course the Silent Auction! We also will have a local Ice Cream Truck with prices starting at $1!

5. Need to relax; come join the French Club students at the French Cafe! 
Ice coffee, Ice tea, Croissants (Butter or Chocolate), and Cookies will be available with most items at $1 and $2. 

6. With almost 15 carnival games, many inflatables, cake walk, and cookie decorating; start using those wristbands and punch cards as soon as you can, the earlier you get to the fair, the more time you have to play!

7. A surprise for those attending; as a little gift to our community we want you to know that we have brought in some stations at no cost to you! Henna, Face Painting, and our Crafts, and a Selfie station will be free of charge! We will also have some basketball games going on .... come to the fair, play some ball, then once the fair is over at 8pm you will have plenty of time to get home to see the start of Game 6 at 9pm! 

8. Browse the wares of local vendors who are coming out to help support Bloordale; we have travel experts, clothing lines, and speciality teas.

9. Remember that all money raised goes straight back into the school to benefit ALL of our students. 80% of the profits are directly going to updating classroom technology!

10. Come on out on Thursday and bring your family, friends, and neighbours! Its been a busy school year that has gone by so quick, lets all enjoy one last big party together before we break for summer! 


We look forward to seeing you really soon!

Moving Beyond Just One Week

While this is the end of the week of Truth and Reconciliation we as a community need to move forward and continue learning and taking part in ways moving towards reconciliation in the weeks, months, and years to come.  To continue the journey learn and follow some if the many issues affecting our First Nation, Metis, and Inuit neighbours. Once you know more you may want to take part and help these communities bring change and support these crucial issues.  >  https://waterfirst.ngo/what-we-do/ >  https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Calls_for_Justice.pdf >  https://sixtiesscoopsettlement.info/ >  http://www.northernpublicaffairs.ca/index/volume-5-issue-1/food-politics-finding-a-place-for-country-food-in-canadas-northern-food-policy/ >  https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2021/07/22/covid-forces-increase-in-food-prices-decrease-in-food-options-in-northern-remote-ontario.html >  https://www.ictinc.ca/blog/8-key-iss...

Crosswalk at Renforth and Toledo .... lets make it a reality

On November 13 at 6:30 the Eatonville Parent Council will be holding a Traffic Panel Meeting with special guests from the City of Toronto, Traffic Services Department; as well as our local Councillor, Deputy Mayor Stephen Holyday. One of the issues on the agenda will be the need for a crosswalk on Renforth Drive, closer to Toledo. As a lead up to this meeting I have created a petition for all in our area who recognize the need for this important safety infastructure which is long overdue. Did you know that our school turns 60 in 2020? The roads around us have changed a lot since Bloordale opened in 1960, wouldn't it be nice if this was the year we could give the gift of safety for all our current and future Bloordale students! We have a plaque for 50 years on a rock outside our front door, perhaps a plaque near a new crosswalk this time, sounds like a nice idea don't you think!
