Silent Auction
Every Bloordale Fun Fair has a silent auction that runs at the event. This year we are stepping it up a notch and the auction went live on May 1. It will run right up to the evening of the fair, online! So, you can get bidding today with some early items that are up on the auction site to get a taste of what’s to come. Once the auction closes at 7 pm on the night of the fair winners will still be asked to pay at the school as online payments will not be accepted for auction items.
Visit https://www.32auctions.com/BloordaleFunFair2019

Check back often as items will continue to be added as we receive them!
Email us to find out how you can help the auction by donating new items, gift cards, or experience packages today!

Calling ALL those who would like to Volunteer for the day of the fair …
Contact bloordaleparents@gmail.com or the school office for more information!


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 neighborhood 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 with all the information you need! If you are a home-based business owner ask about the vendor table option.
Thank you for your consideration!

Calls To Action - Truth and Reconciliation Sept 30

This week, Thursday to be exact, our country recognizes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.   This week each day on the blog we will provide resources you and your family can use to better understand what this day means and why it is needed. Many of us are only learning in recent months and years about the atrocities that occurred to our Indigenous communities over the past 155 years and beyond.  Today I am leaving the link that provides the document that contains the 94 Calls Of Action that were developed by the TRC (the Truth and Reconciliation Commission) in 2015. Even at that time many Canadians did not know about the work being done and only as the discoveries that were made this summer and those that continue to be made has these calls come back to light. Our kids are learning in the classroom; as parents and caregivers we have a responsibility to learn and understand and act too! Today take a few minutes to begin reading the Calls To Action and tomorrow I will have a

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:
