Our annual Fun Fair is coming up on May 23 and we need your help! Please, sign up to volunteer a couple of hours of your time on a (hopefully) sunny Saturday in support of your community. There's a wide variety of roles available, from food service to working at a bouncy castle, manning an arts & crafts table, or helping with face paint! Let us know what you're good at and we'll help find you a great role in our supporting cast. We promise, it's a painless and fun activity that means so much to the school's continued support of an enriched experience for your children. Email gardenavenews@gmail.com with your availability and area of interest. We appreciate your help immensely!
IT'S SO SOON! In just 7 sleeps, the funnest day of the year will be upon us: the annual Garden Avenue FUN FAIR! This year we're bigger and better than ever, with a new team behind the planning and execution, with a combination of new activities and old favourites.
Coffee, tea, baked goods and pastries will be for sale during the Fun Fair in the tea room. We are asking families to donate baked goods of all shapes, sizes and flavours. You may bring your items to the school office Friday May 22 and directly to the tea room on Saturday May 23. No nuts please. We would love to offer some gluten free options. Follow the link to more for recipe ideas.
Call for Classroom Basket Items!!!
Class baskets items will be collected until Wednesday May 13 and we are in need of many more items! Please consider contributing towards your child's class theme. Class baskets are a favourite with the kids at the Fun Fair, the more items in the basket the better!
Who’s been moving in the school library at night? A fly? A cat? No…the nightshade veggies!
Ms. Cox reports that of all the library plantings, the nightshades have taken best. The nightshade vegetables or Solanaceae, is a plant family that includes eggplant, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. (The term “nightshade” may have been coined because some of these plants prefer to grow in shady areas, and some flower at night.) Thanks to the Library Helpers for doing such a terrific job.
Seedlings will be on sale at Front Door area at the Garden School Fun Fair on May 23 from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. Come and see what we have grown for you!
