Friday, September 4th

 Happy Friday!


Updates: Our current practice when students are leaving the building for outside time or mask breaks is to use a Ziploc bag assigned to each child to store their masks.  We have noticed that some students are using fanny packs to carry their masks around, which seems to work really well to keep them with the child and avoid any additional handling.  We would welcome families that choose to, to send a fanny pack with their child for mask storage, however if you choose not to, we will continue to offer the Ziploc bags for storage. 


Reminder: No school on Monday September 7th! Have a great long weekend!


Our Day: Today the Peace group worked on an art project that we called “Behind the Mask”. This project allowed students to draw themselves, or a fictional character wearing a mask, and draw what they look like without a mask. Here are some examples of our work:


We also learned all about our personal space bubbles. The hula hoops that we use everyday help us maintain our personal space bubbles. Ask your child how we used our hula hoops today!


We finished our day with gratitude time, and each student had an opportunity to share what they were grateful for. Here are some things that we heard:


  • “I’m grateful for my mom and dad and baby sister”

  • “I’m grateful for hula hoops to keep us safe”

  • “I’m grateful for my teachers and my friends”

  • “I’m grateful that we got to play outside on the field”


Parents, we want to thank you for all of your hard work during the Spring and Summer months with your children. We have noticed many students arriving to school with new skills- your hard work has paid off!


See you on Tuesday!

REMINDERS Families Helping Families As is our tradition at Eric Harvie School, again this year we are calling on your kindness and generosity to help support a family in need at Christmas.  This year, we will be supporting 10 families at Colonel Fred J. Scott School who may need a little extra help to make Christmas brighter.  While in past years we asked for specific gift donations for individual family members, due to the pandemic, this year will look different.      This year we are asking for monetary donations.  These donations will purchase a variety of gift cards (eg. Walmart, Superstore, Safeway) and small stocking stuffers gifted to each member of the 10 families in a stocking.  Parent Council has generously offered their support by collecting the money via direct deposit and helping purchase the gifts.   Donations can be made via at   ehsestreasurer@gmail.com    (No password required.)  and are welcomed on or before...
