Eardley Update – September 19, 2022

Good Morning Eardley Community,

I hope this email finds you all safe and well after the weekend.  I have an important update for you today, please see below.

Annual General Meeting

• Our AGM was held on Wednesday, September 14^th. We had four Governing Board parent/guardian positions to be filled. I am pleased to announce that Karl Lambert and Tanya McCormick were successful in gaining a seat on our 22-23 Governing Board. We still have two positions to be filled, as no other parent/guardian put their name forward.  Therefore, if you are interested in sitting on our Governing Board to serve a two-year term please send me your name. I will fill the two remaining spots on a first come, first serve basis.
