This Tuesday, June 24th, is when Huron is going to be having its “Right to Play” Day.  In the morning we will run a mini program for our morning Kindergarten students and in the afternoon all students, Kindergarten to Grade 6 will participate.  During this time all our students play games that are taught to children in developing countries by Right To Play volunteers. Huron students will be divided into country teams of mixed grades. These countries are all places where the charity works. We are encouraging all students to bring a Toonie ($2.00) to school on Tuesday.  This money will be collected and donated to Right to Play Parents/caregivers, if you would like to volunteer to help out on Tuesday afternoon (or morning if you have a child in morning kindergarten) please just come to the school at about 12:30pm on Tuesday.

**  COBS THE ANNEX – FUNDRAISER  **

One week left in our fundraising partnership with COBS The Annex.  COBS The Annex (370 Bloor Street West) is delighted to offer Huron Street Public School the opportunity to participate in their Dough Raiser program where they help raise money for our school to purchase Huron Street Public School Athletic Jerseys.
HOW IT WORKS: Each time you purchase a product at COBS The Annex (370 Bloor Street West), mention you’re raising dough for Huron Street Public School, and a COBS staff will process a 25% donation of the total sale back to HURON STREET PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Good News!

So please plan a visit to YoYo’s (417 Bloor Street West) this Thursday after school from 3:30-8:00 pm! We look forward to seeing you there and thank you for supporting our ongoing fundraising efforts.

Hello Huron,

….only ONE more sleep till the Picnic for the Arts and the Silent Auction on Friday June 13^th so rest up because there will be a lot of fun in store for both kids and parents! Our Silent Auction won’t be so silent…we have a special guest on the mic…so come join us for all the laughter! As always, families of Kindergarteners to Graduates delight in the friendly bidding on pillowcases made by their children.  Also returning for bidding are the super spectacular class duvet blankets handmade by the grade 5’s and 6’s.

The auction is stocked with several returning favourites and tons of new stuff.  Come out and be impressed by our talented Huron parents and ….yes grandparents who put their own works up for bid.  You will find tickets for your favourite sporting events, several autographed items, designer clothing, gorgeous jewelry, oodles of stuff for kids, class baskets and that’s just the beginning.  There is so much more so come see…

The Silent Auction will be in the same great place in the gym at the same great time… opening at 3:30 till 7:00pm SHARP when bidding closes and the talent show begins. The draw is at 6:30 in the gym. Cash out is till 8:30.   Just don’t forget to pay for and pick up your auction items before leaving for the night, since Huron cannot store any items or be held responsible for any items left behind…sorry!

We can always use more volunteers for the auction, if you think you can give some of your time or to find out what it involves contact Jane Kruse at jane.kruse@me.com

Please remember all money raised goes to Huron so……..bid generously and bid often!

We are going to be doing a special encore presentation of our spring concert on Tuesday June 10th, beginning at about 9:30 am, to give all Huron staff and students a chance to see the wonderful performances.  The gym space will be pretty full with students as the audience, but we will have room for a few chairs at the back … if anyone couldn’t make it on May 22nd and you’d like to join us this Tuesday morning please come along.

As you may know the cut-off to accept donations for the silent auction was last Thursday. We received many generous donations from our Huron families.  In addition to donations, every student from JK and up decorated the ever-popular class pillowcases, and the grade 5/6 classes made their most coveted duvet blankets and all are up for bid!  Funds raised go to support Huron.

So be sure to come out to bid on these items and so much more at the Picnic for the Arts Silent Auction in the Gym on Friday June 13th, 2014 opens 3:30 p.m. till 7:00 p.m. sharp. Talent Show to follow in the big field. Support Huron. Bid often and bid generously,
