Fall Western Social
On Friday October 10, 2025. Harmony Elementary hosted our 2nd annual Fall Western Social. The event invited all parents and guardian from the school community to celebrate music, apples, lemonade, PPO bake sale, and Thanksgiving. Once again, it was a huge success with many community members enjoying the afternoon with our staff and students. The PPO bake sale looked delicious and raised over $891 for the Chateauguay Food Bank. Well done to Mr. Flanagan and the student council for creating such an amazing event.

Geordie Productions
October 14, 2025 saw Harmony welcome the performing troop from Geordie production into our school. The students received 2 fantastic plays called “Beyond Belief”. The students thoroughly enjoyed the play based on the concepts of bullying and mental health, done through humour and hope.
Kahnawake Tour
The grade 6 classes once again took a tour of Kahnawake this year. On October 17, 2025, the students, staff, and parent volunteers had the opportunity to tour and learn about the culture and heritage of Kahnawake. This is a valuable experience that we are pleased to provide our students because developing understanding comes through learning about each other.
Miss Kathy
On October 18, 2025. Harmony lost a beautiful member of her family. Miss Kathy lost

her brief but tough fight with cancer. As we mourn, the community that she loved also helped raise many food items for the food bank. Her brother Bob and the rest of the family also raised $1000 for the women’s shelter. Both of these causes were dear to Kathy’s heart. Thank you to everyone for your generosity.
Artiste Inspired workshops
Harmony Elementary had the privilege of welcoming Mr. Snow on October 20, 21, 22, 23, and 28. He conducted several art inspired workshops with our senior students and painted many panels that will decorate our hallways. The workshop also included a couple performances by Mr. Snow and family.

Outdoor Education
The month of October saw several groups from Harmony take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and colors. The 2B, 2C, and 6A classes, all took time to walk outside, to the park and to the woods to do art, science and write. We believe in developing the whole child and learning to work in nature with nature is a fantastic way to develop as complete learners.
