Get your dancing boots on!! Here comes a Dance-A-Thon & Be a Santa to a Senior Program!

A message from The Earl Beatty Spirit Committee

We are excited to announce Earl Beatty PS will be participating in the Be a Santa to a Senior Program again this year. Home Instead Senior Care partners with community organizations and local non-profits to identify seniors who might not otherwise receivegifts this holiday season. Supporting the seniors in our community is even more important this year due to the isolation and fear many have faced due to COVID 19.

The money raised by Earl Beatty P.S. will be used to purchase gifts for seniors in a longterm care / retirement home in our own community. Last year we raised enough money to purchase gifts for 60 seniors and we are hoping to keep that spirit of giving alive this yea

To raise money for the Be a Santa to a Senior Program, we are organizing a holiday themed outdoor dance-a-thon on Friday December 3rd for the students to participate in and raise sponsorship money. Students will be grouped in their cohorts and will participate outdoor

The collection of sponsorship money and donations will begin on Wednesday December 1st and end on Monday December 6th. All payments can be made directly to CASH ONLINE.

If you would like to learn more about the Be a Santa to a Senior Program you may view the link https://www.beasantatoasenior.com/. We appreciate your assistance in providing your child with the opportunity to participate in a program that brings kindness and joy to the most vulnerable in our community.

Hi everyone! Don’t forget this Friday, November 19 the school will be closed! Parent teacher interviews will be taking place online if you have signed up with your child’s teacher. Virtual report cards go home today (Tuesday November 16).
