Parents, guardians, and students are warmly invited to join us for an opportunity to visit your child's classroom, meet their teacher, and explore our school community. Teachers will share a snapshot of the learning environment, classroom routines, and important information for the year ahead. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with staff, learn more about our school programs, and celebrate a successful start to the school year. Information about school programs, student supports, and family involvement opportunities will be available throughout the school. 

Event Details 

Drop in anytime between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. 

Meet your child's teacher and visit their classroom. 

Tour the school and explore learning spaces. 

• Learn about school programs and opportunities for family involvement. 
• Connect with members of our School Council and school community. 

This is a drop-in style event where students can proudly share their classroom and school with their families. If classrooms become busy, we encourage families to explore other areas of the school and return to the classroom later. 

Attend with your child to meet our staff, tour the school, and celebrate the exciting learning journey ahead at Eric Harvie School! 

We look forward to welcoming you! 

EHS Terry Fox Run – Friday, October 2 

Eric Harvie School is proud to continue our long-standing tradition of participating in the Terry Fox Run. Since our school's opening, this event has been an opportunity for our community to come together in support of Terry’s dream of a world without cancer. 

Cancer has touched the lives of many within our school community, including students, staff, and families. Terry Fox’s courage, determination, and selflessness continue to inspire generations, including our youngest learners. By participating and raising funds, we honour his legacy and help support vital cancer research. 

This year, EHS has set a fundraising goal of $5,000. Our Grade 5 students will be helping to brainstorm a special school-wide reward if we reach our goal. Stay tuned for more details! 

We invite you to share our school fundraising page with family and friends: 

https://schools.terryfox.ca/137500 

For those who prefer to give in person, a donation jar will be available in the school office throughout the first week of October. Please note that tax receipts are available for online donations only. 

We would also love to have volunteers join us for this special event. A volunteer sign-up link will be shared early next week. 

Together, let's celebrate Terry’s legacy, support an important cause, and make this year's EHS Terry Fox Run our most successful yet!
