JOY POD

Students have started to work on the Showcase of Learning connected to our Inquiry Projects and Open Minds Experiences (Glenbow Museum, Telus Spark Science Centre, and Vivo) .  Parents, we invite you to join us for "The Joy of Play" on Friday, March 15th 10:00-11:30AM. Come at any time and stay as long as you would like between 10AM and 11:30AM. We will provide more information in the upcoming weeks.


Big Box of Cards Fundraiser: 
School Council sent home with your child a sample box of cards. The box contains 33 gorgeous "All Occasion" greeting cards for $33! Each box purchased will generate $11 in profits for our school.  Order forms and fundraising information is included in the bag with the box of cards. Please have all order forms returned to the school by Thursday, February 28th. Further questions or concerns about this program can be forwarded to Amanda Hang at ehsfundraisingdirector@gmail.com
