Terry Fox Run - Friday, September 15

 

Eric Harvie School will be participating in the Terry Fox Run this year on Friday, September 15th from 8:30 am to 11:30 am.  After several years, we are once again going to come together as a community for the Terry Fox Run and will be joining Tuscany School and TMC School. Our students will walk to TMC School and the event will begin in their school field. 

We cannot do events like this without volunteers! The link for volunteering is below. We will need at least 35 volunteers to help support this event. Volunteers will need to meet at Eric Harvie School, at 8:30am. They will then walk with a class and remain with that class for the run and return to EHS at the end.

 

Terry’s goal when he started his Marathon of Hope was for every Canadian to donate $1 for cancer research.  Inspired by Terry’s goal, Tuscany School has set a goal for our Terry Fox Run this year to raise “A Toonie for Terry” for every staff and student to donate to The Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.  Please consider sending your child with a Toonie on the day of the run to donate to this important cause.  If families would like to donate online to The Terry Fox Foundation, donations may be made on our school link https://schools.terryfox.ca/EricHarvieSchool

 

Thank you for your support of this year’s Terry Fox Run!

Terry Fox Run - Volunteers Needed! 

We are looking for volunteers to assist us with walking our student athletes TO AND FROM TMC for the Terry Fox Run.

All Volunteers MUST have their current and valid Police Clearance AND the Annual Volunteer Registration Form (blue form that came home to you the first week) filled out and returned to the school. 

Here is the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D44AFAB28ABF94-terry4

EHS Mobile Phone & Digital Device Policy

 

The age of the learners at our Kindergarten to grade 4 school generally means that their is very little need for our learners to bring a mobile phone with them to school each day. However, we respect that having a mobile phone for safety reasons when a child is walking home from school may be a choice made by families. If you choose to send a mobile device to school with your child for these reasons, please ensure that they understand that these devices stay in their bags during the school day. We also ask that you not communicate with your child through this device during the day, as we ask that all communication comes through the main office to ensure messages are received clearly. Thank you!

Donations for Ignite Learning

 

Eric Harvie school is looking for items such as games, building materials like lego, kinex, blocks… or any other fun activities that could be connected to learning to expand our Ignite Learning library. These items will be used for our curriculum connected Ignite time at the beginning of the day, by all classes.  This helps our learners to get themselves regulated and ready to learn.  If you happen to have something at your house that you were going to donate, please consider donating it at EHS. You can bring these items into the office. Thank you!

Roots of Empathy - Call for Babies and Volunteers

Eric Harvie has been a Roots of Empathy school since we began and community support made that possible. Families have volunteered their time and their babies to be part of this incredible program and parent council has provided funding. Our Roots of Empathy team needs the friends of EHS to spread the word to expecting parents and prospective volunteers.

We may be unable to offer the program to as many classes as we normally have this year as we have a very limited number of volunteer instructors to lead our program. If you might know someone that is interested in taking the training for this role, please let us know at the school office.

The program is best suited to babies who are four months old by September 1 but we're happy to talk with any interested families. Please email chashworth@cbe.ab.ca if you would like more information or have any questions. Thank you! 

Start of Year Forms 

 

Most of the yearly start of the year forms moved to an online format through your MyCBE account. These include the Demographic Verification form that helps ensure we are able to contact you in an emergency, and the annual authorization forms that pertain to photos around the school. Please take a moment to complete these forms in the coming days to ensure we have this information. 

 

We will be sending a couple of paper copy forms home at the start of the year that are not a part of these system wide forms. These will include forms for walking distance learning activities near the school.
