Reminders: 

Jacket Racket 2020
We need your help!  We are currently collecting winter wear for Jacket Racket as we have for the past 4 years.  Due to Covid restrictions, we ask that you drop off new or gently used items in the collection bins outside the front door of the school.  Jacket Racket will accept coats, hats, mittens/gloves, boots, etc. in children's and adult sizes.  Please ensure the items are cleaned and in good condition.
Thank you so much for thinking of others during this challenging time!

Our Day:

We began our day with a quick lesson on "triple-scoop" words. These are words that are more descriptive and help improve our writing. They are named as such because reading a piece of writing that includes "triple-scoop" words makes you feel like you're getting a triple-scoop ice cream cone and not just a single-scoop cone. Ask your child about some of the "triple-scoop " words that we discussed today! 


In the afternoon, we read the book, "The Prairie That Nature Built", and we began our investigation of the plants and animals that make their home on the prairie. This is an investigation that we are excited to continue in the coming week. Stay tuned!

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...
