Family Sledding Event
March 15th 2021,
Dear EWES Families & Friends
We are once again preparing for our annual Read-a-thon fundraiser here at our school. This valuable fundraising activity enables us to pay for the many “extras,” which improve the quality of student life and help create a positive, inviting atmosphere here at EWES. We are asking our school community, families and friends to help us out by furnishing prizes for students, which will be used as incentives to read. Anything from books to toys to games to gift cards can be used to motivate our readers. If you come across any goodies throughout your spring cleaning that you would like to donate to a great cause, please bring them to our school office or contact Jamie.jacobsen@yukon.ca to arrange pickup.
Any assistance, which you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kind consideration of this request. The draw for prizes will be held the week of April 19th 2021.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Sharon MacCoubrey
Principal
