VOLUNTEERS NEEDED IN THE LIBRARY TO HELP SHELVE BOOKS
Ms. Will Stork, our Teacher/Librarian, is desperate for some help with shelving books. As you can imagine, at this time of year when all the books are being returned, there’s a lot to get back on the shelves before school finishes. If you have any time next week – in the morning, before school or during school hours, even for just 15 minutes, please come and help.

OUR BIG TREE MAKES IT TO THE FINALS
We wanted to share the good news that “The Big Tree” is a finalist in the Great Toronto Tree Hunt! Thank you to everyone who voted and voted and voted! We will find out if we are the winner of the Heritage Potential Tree category (the category we selected) at the awards ceremony next Wednesday night at the City of Toronto Archives.

RIGHT TO PLAY DAY
In the afternoon on Tuesday, June 23rd Huron is holding its annual “Right to Play” day. “Right to Play” is a charity that uses sport and play to help empower kids in a variety of disadvantaged countries around the world. Volunteers go to different communities and teach games to the children there along with life lessons. For more information about “Right to Play” please go to: www.righttoplay.ca

On Tuesday June 23rd, all students, Kindergarten to Grade 6, will be participating in our “Right To Play” day. Huron students are asked to bring a toonie on the day of the event to donate to the charity so that the Huron community can show how we respect the role that play has in the lives of children.

LOST AND FOUND
Our Lost and Found is very, very, full … and as we approach the end of the school year it is very important that belongings are claimed and taken home! Please remember to check Lost and Found regularly and find anything that belongs to you. Students are reminded regularly to bring lost and found items from their classrooms and hallways to the Lost and Found structure, so even if you can’t find something on one day please continue to check. Sometimes it takes a little while but most things do, eventually, end up in Lost and Found. PLEASE NOTE – all items left in Lost and Found, or left in classrooms/hallways after June 25th will be DONATED TO CHARITY. All items will be collected, washed, put in bags and donated immediately after school finishes, so do not leave your belongings at school.

COBS IS HELPING US FUNDRAISE
