On Friday, September 28, 2017 students at Eric Harvie School will be taking part in the annual Terry Fox School Run with Twelve Mile Coulee and Tuscany School. This is an exciting community event. We will begin our run at Twelve Mile Coulee School run through the bike paths accompanied by volunteers and safely escorted across streets by Calgary City Police, to Tuscany School. We will have a celebration and snack before walking back to Eric Harvie School.
At Eric Harvie School we believe in building peaceful communities and part of this mission is to be able to take care of others. The Terry Fox Foundation’s goal is to fun innovative cancer research through an non-competitive all inclusive run. 82% of all money raised by the foundation goes toward many forms of cancers including pediatric, lung, brain and more.
Eric Harvie School’s goal this year is to raise $4000.00.
