Picnic Lunching outside next week June 4th to 6th

Hi there,

The Lion King production is fast approaching.

The performances will be taking place from Tuesday, June 4th to Friday, June 6th. 

To accommodate for the performances, the entire East Gym will be set-up for the 3 days.

As a result, we will be doing “picnic lunch” outside, weather permitting.

If there is inclement weather, alternate arrangements will be made for students.

Josee Couture Realty
Lead Sponsor
Please meet Josee Couture! Here is what Josee had to say about her business: “Having sold real estate in Toronto for the past 25 years, I must confess one of my favourite things about my job is that so many clients have become close friends with me. That’s because I regard my clients as more than simply people hunting for a new home or selling their current one. When people come to me, they’re entrusting me with their hopes and dreams and I feel a real commitment to fulfill those.

Not only am I an accomplished real estate salesperson, I’m trained in both interior decoration and as a Master Gardener, which allows me to maximize my clients’ experience. Whether you’re buying or selling, I have a wealth of information to share with you.

Baked goods wanted for Spring Fling

Calling all Bakers!

The Bake Sale is an integral part of Essex-Hawthorne’s Spring Fling, coming very soon on Friday May 31st (3:30 – 7:30 pm).

We’re asking, please, for yummy, baked-good donations (sweet and/or savoury), but most importantly NUT FREE.

And if you’re not into baking or pushed for time, please bring store-bought goodies, as long as they are nut free (and better still, made in a nut free facility).

A sign-up sheet is on the Essex notice board in the main foyer.

Please drop off baked goods on the day of Spring Fling at the Essex office or bring them directly to the Bake Sale table at the event.

Thank you!

Bag2School a great success!

Thanks to everyone at both schools and in the community who donated unused textiles to Bag2School. We ended up having more donations than could fit in our little room, and also more than we could fit on the truck! Special thanks to Tracey, Ben, Nathan, and Alexander for helping us get everything loaded on.

Our total donation was 540 kilograms of clothing, which raised $108 for Essex. And if you have any leftovers that you didn’t get a chance to donate, stay tuned for another collection in the fall!
