The Eric Harvie Peace Ambassadors spent an afternoon learning about play with and ambassador from he Right to Play Organization. This organization works with children around the world in some of the most challenging countries that have been plagued by violence, child labour, illiteracy and inequality. Our EHS Peace Ambassadors will be working with all of our students in Phys. Ed during the week of May 13 - 16.
To give back to the Right to Play organization for spending time with our peace ambassadors so the they can teach all of us about safe and respectful play we would like to make a donation to the Right to Play Organization to continue to do their work across the world.
We are asking all students to make a donation of a toonie on Monday.

JUNE 2, 2019!
The Glazed 8 is a race of varying lengths for kids, adults, families, and friends that combine two of the best activities around: running & eating donuts. And, the bonus of the event is that all money raised goes towards our community - specifically, Eric Harvie Elementary School and new this year, Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation. We are in the third year of the event, have donated close to $4000 and eaten nearly 500 donuts and 2500 Timbits!

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 Artists in 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! Notices will sent home today Thursday, April 18/19 or April 23/19 and must be returned no later than Monday, May 13/19. All plants ordered will be available for pick up at Eric Harvie School on May 30 and 31/19 at the office between 1:00 – 4:00 pm.
We hope that you will see something you like and help support our cause. We couldn't do it without you!
