Families Helping Families

We will be continuing an Eric Harvie School tradition again this year through an initiative we call EHS Families Helping Families. Each year as Winter Break approaches, we sponsor a few families from Colonel J. Fred Scott School to help provide some support during the holiday season. Each classroom will take on a family to support, and we ask those families that feel they are in a position to be able to help out a family that is needing some support at this time to donate new holiday gifts, personal items, or even a gift card to help make this time of year a bit easier. We will be sharing complete details early next week after we have further information about the families in need, such as the ages of children in the family. Your support of families that are needing a bit of a boost will be greatly appreciated!

Full information is available on the attachment - located on the right hand side of the webpage. (and the links should be active now too!)

Casino Fundraiser Note

Thank you so much to the many volunteers that have offered their time for the EHS School Enhancement Society Casino Fundraiser! This event is expected to raise upwards of $70,000 for school programs, technology and busing for field trips. This event will literally save you money that you will not need to pay for school fees for learning activities!

We are urgently seeking 2 more volunteers for our upcoming casino fundraiser event on December 9 and 10 at Pure Casino (near the airport). If we do not have sufficient volunteers we will have to forfeit our slot.

School Parking & Pedestrians

As we shared in past Connect messages, the City of Calgary has made a change in the parking areas around many schools. This is in connection with upcoming changes to provincial bussing regulations and an increase in the number of buses that will come to Eric Harvie School.

The diagram below shows these designated areas:

RED = Bus Zone - no stopping during the school day (except designated buses)

YELLOW = “Kiss and Drop” zone - no leaving your vehicle unattended, 10 min. Max during drop off and pick up times

GREEN = Parking allowed zones

PURPLE = Please be extremely careful at this intersection and ensure pedestrians are able to cross safely

Food Impact - Nutrition Workshops for Kindergarten and Gr 3/4 

We have arranged for an “in school field trip” for all of our learners to focus on healthy nutrition choices. The Food Impact program comes in to the school and will provide each class with a one hour session where they discuss healthy food choices and make their own snacks! Kindergarten classes and grade 3 and 4 learners will have these sessions this week.

Reminder: students need to return a signed form in order to be able to consume the food they make due to allergy concerns.

We would also appreciate a few parent volunteers on these days to help the process of having our learners develop hands-on skills for making healthy snacks. If you are able to support please see the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D44AFAB28ABF94-46247920-food
