Huron Happenings – March 20, 2017

We hope that everyone had a happy, healthy, and fun March Break and we’ll see all students back at school on Monday, March 20th, 2017.

TDSB EARTH HOUR

TDSB Earth Hour 2017 is Friday, March 24th, and at Huron we will be participating from 2:20-3:20pm. TDSB Schools and offices are asked to go as electricity-free as possible for ONE HOUR. Wherever possible, our schools and offices will turn off all interior lighting except necessary emergency lights, and minimize fan use. In 2011, TDSB schools and offices decreased their electricity by 29.09%. Our highest yet, topping the 27.8% 2009 result! Can we do more this year? TDSB is holding their Earth Hour in advance of Global Earth Hour which is on Saturday March 25th, 2017 from 8:30-9:30pm local time.
