Parent/Guardian/Caregiver Book Club Update

Hi everyone, while working to develop a parent book club it is becoming apparent that there are not a lot of people who want to commit to a formal club with meetings at the moment, which I totally understand. At the end of the day the last thing I feel like doing is jumping on another Zoom meeting. So, to try and make this easier for anyone who is interested I have put together a Google Classroom that can be used as a place to connect and discuss on our own time.

I will include an invitation in the May Council Update but as the room is set up and has some book suggestions ready you can sign up here:

So why use a Google Classroom? So many of us are learning to navigate around these "virtual classes" or at least our kids are and so because of that I thought why not keep all our info in one place and use this platform as best we can.  If anyone needs help, our kids will be able to find what we need! 

But of course if you do need more help send me an email at bloordaleparents@gmail.com

Please keep in mind that this is a Parent-Run Volunteer book club and will not be run by school staff.

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...
