Our annual Terry Fox Run is almost upon us! The students will be taking part in the Terry Fox Run on the afternoon of September 19th.

We would ask each student to send in a Toonie for Terry between now and the end of the month.

Your donations are greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

The Terry Fox Run Committee

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St.Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC Canada in 2013. It grew out of Phylllis' story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission. It has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential school happening annually.

Our school division will recognize Orange Shirt Day on Friday, September 29th, 2023.

Orange shirts are available for purchase through our school. Each shirt is $14.00 for youth or adults. $1.00 from every shirt purchased will go towards an Indigenous Education Services Student Scholarship.

Payment can be made online via Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard or Debit MasterCard or with exact cash at the school office. Please note we are unable to accept cheques for payment. Orders are due by September 17th until 11:59 pm and will be delivered to your school the week of September 25-28th, 2023.

To order your shirts please log into your parent portal through PowerSchool and select school “fees and form” on the tab at the bottom left-hand side of the page to link to your Rycor account. If you are having any issues logging into your PowerSchool account please contact the school main office.

Field Trips, Hot Lunch, Family Events and More are not possible without our School Council. We are actively looking for new members with a positive mindset who believe in teamwork. By volunteering not only do you enhance and support your child’s learning experience, but also the experience of all students and our amazing staff. Lend a hand to make EOLRS the best it can possibly be.

Watch for our year in review from last year coming out soon for a snapshot of what we did last year.

Our School Council meets approximately once/month for a hour. The first meeting/AGM will be held on September 18 from 9:00-11:00 am at the school as there is more information to cover at this meeting. All are welcome to attend!
