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!

Dear Parents and Guardians;

Many of us don’t really know exactly what goes on at a school during the day.  We know our kids are in class and that teachers are teaching. We know our kids  are learning and socialising, they are every day becoming more aware of the world around us.  A teacher does not have an easy job. They need to plan ahead, be ready to teach in a  way that large numbers of students can understand (keep in mind there are many different  learning styles), and at the end of the day they have all the same concerns that the rest of us  do. These adults have the world on their shoulders right now and while many of us may work  in difficult atmospheres, kids are not relying on us all day in that work space.  At our first parent council meeting I hope that we can take some time to discuss what the  Ministry of Education has caused the TDSB to do in regards to cutbacks that affect our  school directly.  One major issue tha...

Not The Year We Expected .....

Well, what a year 2020 is turning out to be, one we will never forget and one that our kids will tell tales of to future generations. But while we are able to one day tell stories of this time, many are still trying to come to terms with this new way of life. It is not easy and for many it is down right scary, if you need any help at all, you can reach out to your extended Bloordale family at anytime :) The TDSB has so many links at your finger tips to help you get started in finding help where you need it; from online learning to mental health, the website has got you many starting points. From one parent to another, you know your kids and if you can see that they are having trouble adjusting to the new school norms, reach out to your child's teacher; we are all in this together and this is new and unprecedented for all of us :) Looking for some online resources, the TDSB website may have what you need. To help you navigate, here are some specific links on the TDSB Website: ...

Sponsorship Options Still Available

Have you noticed the sponsorship signs outside the main doors?  Have you thought about how many people drive past that each day, how many of our neighbourhood  residents walk past each day?  Now what about the exposure that is given to our sponsors on our website, in these newsletters, and even at the event itself?  Keep in mind that we promote the Fun Fair right across the area through our feeder schools, local library, independent businesses, and community bulletin boards. 80% of the profit of this event will go right back into the school to improve the technology that our students use each day. Ask your kids how much it is needed, they will be your best insight! With all this said, there are 3 different levels and if you or someone you know is a small business owner who is looking to help a good cause, please consider Bloordale Fun Fair Sponsorship.  Contact us via email and we will have our Sponsorship Lead Extraordinaire contact you w...
