Today we discussed a former student, Diamond Marshall, who has passed away, in December 2014 from cancer. She was very special to many students and staff here at Earl Grey. Please read the message below.



Dear Earl Grey parents,
Diamond Marshall was a student of Earl Grey from kindergarten to grade 4 when she passed away due to cancer. The stained glass window by the front door was put up in her memory. For the last 3 years Earl Grey has worn pink on Diamonds birthday (June 15th) and brought a donation for kids cancer research at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. We are hoping to continue the tradition this year! 
If you would like to participate, please send your child with a toonie/donation on June 15thwith the option of wearing something pink!!
Thanks so much!
From,
Earl Grey 2017 grads
