Now that the larger orders have been picked up, students may pick up smaller orders at the end of the day today (an announcement will be made). Students will be given the chocolate order and a copy of their order form.
Grade 7 white t-shirts for the band uniforms will also be passed out today.
Thank you for your support!
A reminder that Anne’s Chocolates orders will be available for parents to pick up this afternoon from 3:30-5:30 pm in the cafeteria. A copy of the online orders will be attached to each order so that sellers will know which items were ordered by each of their customers.
Congratulations to the grade 9 band on a very successful visit to Eliot River Elementary on Friday! The students and staff really enjoyed the music, and we answered some excellent questions from the grade 6 students about the band program at East Wiltshire. Thank you to Mr. Cusack for driving the equipment truck!
We have received our cheque from the Anne of Green Gables Chocolates fundraising campaign and a total of $1868.50 was raised for the band program! Thank you for your support. The orders will be sorted and labeled, and they will be available for parents to pick up on Tuesday afternoon from 3:30-5:30 pm in the cafeteria. A copy of the online orders will be attached to each order so that sellers will know which items were ordered by each of their customers.
Students who are taking orders home on the bus will be asked to wait until the next day (Wednesday, December 4th) to pick up their orders. It will be faster for students who are catching buses to pick up at their orders at the end of the day on Wednesday once the majority of orders have been picked up.
The EWS Christmas Concert will be held on Thursday, December 12th at 7:00 p.m. Students will be asked to arrive at 6:30 p.m. Uniforms are required, and Santa hats, reindeer antlers, red and green light-up necklaces, etc. are strongly encouraged! The white shirts for the grade 7’s have been ordered and should arrive before the concert.

I apologize for the last minute change, but something has come up and I have to cancel Jazz Band this afternoon.
This announcement was made first thing this morning: “Jazz Band is cancelled for this afternoon and will be held after school on Monday & Thursday next week.”
I will be ordering long sleeved white shirts for the grade 7 students tomorrow to go with the band vests that they received last week or today.
Students have been asked to check with parents (or in their t-shirt drawer) to verify their t-shirt size. I also have samples to show them at early am band tomorrow before they fill out their order form. The available sizes are ADULT (Small, Medium and Large) and YOUTH (Small, Medium and Large).
Thank you!

There was some confusion today about the end date for our fundraiser. I’ve requested an extra week for the campaign so that everyone can get their orders in! Orders can now be placed until midnight on November 21st. Orders will be delivered to the school for pick-up during the following week (details to follow).
Thanks for your support!
We are getting closer to our goal, but we are still well below our total profits last year ($4,280.50). If you can, please consider doing some early Christmas shopping and support the band this week!
