Ride to School on June 4th, 2019
Bike to School day is a growing campaign that was initiated in 2014 and with the coming of 2019's Bike to School day, has spread to plenty of schools and is expected to have thousands of kids riding their bikes to school on June 4th!
At Bike to School Day, getting kids active and engaged with the outdoors, their bikes, and each other is a huge goal of ours. With the digital world becoming more and more interlaced with our world, it is important to remember the small initiatives that can keep you healthy and grounded. Bike to school day is a project that encourages students and their parents to take part in and build a healthy lifestyle while also showing them that it is fun and beneficial to do so.

OUR THIRD ANNUAL GLAZED 8 DONUT RACE WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY,
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!

Twin Valley Farms Field Trip June 2019
We are very excited to provide the opportunity for the current classes of Grade 1/2 students to participate in the Twin Valley Farms Field Trip experience this June! This is a very special experience that takes place at Twin Valley Farms, a very large ranch just southeast of Nanton, AB, offering students an up-close-and-personal experience learning how food is grown and raised in the province of Alberta.
Twin Valley Farms offers students opportunities to see farm equipment up close and in action, live animals (mostly spring babies), seeding plans, learn how drones are used on the farm, how grain is made into flour and observe a giant-sized water irrigation system actually working – sometimes even a crop dusting plane will fly by just to ‘wave’ at the students.
The Joy Pod will be going to Twin Valley Farm for a field trip on Wednesday, June 19th. We will be traveling by coach bus and will not return to the school between 4:00-4:30pm. If you have a police clearance and are available to join us please sign up.
Thanks
