Eric Harvie School Spring Fundraiser 2019
Dear Parents/Guardians, 
This spring we are selling beautiful, locally grown flowers, and plants to help raise money for our programs. Fundraising is always a vital part of ensuring the students have the best year possible. The money raised is used to help cover costs for programs, equipment, resources, and extra-curricular activities. It also takes some of the financial burden off the parents – allowing more kids to participate in activities, such as Artistsin Residence (WP Puppeteers) and school special events (including our Film Festival in June).    
Important Notes:
  • Please ensure customers makes cheques payable to : Eric Harvie School
  • Our team website (to place online orders and view plants in color) is located at:   https://ericharvie.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home
  • Please try to sell only to your family, friends and close neighbours. (Parents may take order forms to work to collect sales if desired).
  • We do not encourage young students soliciting door-to-door sales for safety reasons.
  • Plants are supplied by DeVry Greenhouses
By purchasing a beautiful plant(s) this spring, not only will you be spreading summer cheer, you will also be supporting an amazing cause!
