GRAD FUNDRAISER

Just a reminder that Spring Flowers will be arriving this week.  The pick-up date is on Thursday, May 8th at Ecole des Deux Mondes (EDM) at 851 7th Ave. 

Pick-up time is strictly after 3:15pm until 5pm, as our staff, students and parent volunteers will not be at EDM until this time to help with orders.  This is also to help with the parking situation at EDM as students are being picked up until around this time.  We want to ensure little extra volume of traffic going through their parking lot so that their students can safely be picked up, and school buses have full access to the parking lot. 

Flower orders will be in the gym which is just off the main entrance to the school.
