Huron Happenings – October 24th, 2016

TAKE ME OUTSIDE DAY

Wednesday, October 26th, 2016 is National “Take Me Outside Day” – so make sure all students come to school dressed appropriately to be outside at some point today, regardless of the weather!
Take Me Outside Day is an opportunity for schools across Canada and all
around the world to show the importance of getting outside. It’s a day to support outdoor education and to extend the learning environment beyond the four walls of our classrooms!
Mission:
Take Me Outside (TMO) is a non-profit organization committed to educating and
creating awareness with Canadians about our connection to nature and our
time spent outside. TMO works collaboratively with other organizations,
school boards and individuals to encourage children and youth to spend
more time outside through various advocacy projects and initiatives. More info can be found at http://takemeoutside.ca/tmo-day.

HURON’S MONTHLY EARTH HOUR

As part of our commitment to being a PLATINUM leave ECO-SCHOOL, our monthly “Huron Earth Hour” for October will be held on Friday October 28th from 2:20-3:20pm. During this time we will turn off as many lights as possible and shut off, or power down, as many electronics as we can as well. This is a time when we can focus on energy conservation and activities that we can do as individuals, classes and a school community that do not involve things that use electricity.

LOST AND FOUND

The collection in our Lost and Found is continuing to grow, and grow, and grow! Please remember to check Lost and Found regularly and take home items that belong to your family.

COBS THE ANNEX is HELPING HURON FUNDRAISE

Don’t forget that for the entire month of October, COBS THE ANNEX, is helping Huron ‘raise some dough’ by donating 25% of your purchase back to our school. Please see the attached flier for more information – and thank you to COBS for their support of Huron!

ACORN ART

A reminder that the deadline for all Acorn Art orders is Wednesday, October 26th. Make sure all art work, orders and payment are brought to the school office on or by October 26th. There are extra art work templates and order forms in the office if anyone needs one.
