We are so excited to see the design of playground equipment from Belaire that we are fundraising for. The students had a chance to vote on the elements they wanted as part of the equipment. The slide was the most important part to the kids.

Ryan and Ian Clark of Digital Memories & DJ Services will help keep us movin' and grovin' on our Playground Build day. Thank you for donating your services to our celebration day!

Flowers Everywhere!

Our Frank Van Dam flower fundraiser raised $380 toward our playground.

Can You Donate?

We are getting closer to our goal, but we still need your help. Can you donate $25, $50, $100 or more to help us reach our goal? Tax receipts are issued for donations of $25 or more and you will be featured on our blog!

The Evelyn Harrison staff held a 50 / 50 draw and donated $160 to the Playground Project!

$520 was raised at our latest bake sale! Thanks for your support.

Thank You!
Steve Huisman, a parent in our school community, has volunteered to do the excavation work to prepare the ground for our playground installation. Thank you! He will be using equipment provided by his employer, PCN Construction Group Inc. Thanks for your support!

Chocolate-covered almonds will be sold from April 20 - May 11 as a fundraiser for our JK/SK Playground Equipment. There are 25 boxes in a handy carrying case and each box sells for $2.00 each. For every student that takes a case, their name will be put into a draw for a raffle basket. The student that sells the most will receive a special gift. We do hope you can help with this fundraiser as the profits are going to a great cause!

Yum! Yum!

Two bake sales held so far raised $850! The next bake sale is being held on Thursday, May 14.

Fun Rotations

The Student Cabinet, organized by Mrs. McGuchan and Mrs. Barrett, ran Fun Rotations for our school on Thursday, April 9. Face painting, bean bag toss, raffles, basketball throw, hockey shots and an obstacle course all provided Fun, Fun, Fun! We raised $700 for our playground equipment!

Playground Pals

After fundraising for a couple of years, our Home and School has been saving towards our JK/SK Playground equipment and we are close to our goal. Playground Pals has been one of these fundraisers. These cute bears for $2 each are almost gone, but will have made a lasting contribution to our new playground equipment!

Helping Hands Award

Evelyn Harrison has been awarded the Let Them Be Kids Helping Hands Award! The program, Let Them Be Kids, was launched in Canada in 2006 and their mission is to assist communities to build play structures. The Evelyn Harrison Home and School Association has been fund raising for a few years now to build a playground for our Kindergarten students. Now with the Helping Hands Award (which turns every 60 cents we raise into a dollar) and a little more help through fund raising over the next few months we can reach our goal!
With help from the community we can complete the project this year. We are looking for anyone with connections to companies that maybe interested in helping us with the fill and/or excavation. We will be fund raising to cover these costs but any help would be greatly appreciated. The Home and School will be hold 3 bake sales and we are looking into other ideas to raise the remaining money needed to complete this project. Please support us in as many ways as possible so that we can keep these small children safe.
