HURON MONTHLY EARTH HOUR
Our Earth Hour for March will be held on Friday March 31st, 2017, from 2:20-3:20pm. Our monthly Earth Hour is a special initiative at Huron, and it helps towards our Platinum certification as an ECO-School. On the last Friday of every month we turn off as many lights as safely possible and power-down and turn off as many electronics as we can in an effort to reduce our energy consumption. We encourage all Huron families to take on a similar initiatve at home as well.
FAMILY SKATE NIGHT
A reminder that this Friday – March 31st, 2017 – is our annual Family Skate Night at Varsity Arena. All Huron families are invited to come and join in this fantastic, family-fun, activity. The doors will open at Varsity Arena at 5:00pm and we have ice time from 5:30-7:00pm. Pizza and drinks will be available for sale too. Entrance is $5.00 per person (at the door) and all money raised goes to support Health and Physical Education and Athletics programs here at the school. All students must be accompanied by an adult, and everyone 12 years of age and younger must wear a helmet when on the ice. Please see the attached flier for more information.
PROLOGUE to the PERFORMING ARTS
We have our next Prologue performance coming up on Monday April 3rd – a special performance just for our Kindergarten classes. The performance will begin at approx. 9:15am – parents/caregivers of students in Kindergarten please feel free to join us this morning if you are available.
SIGHT AND SOUND CLINIC
As previously notified, we did receive the minimum number of required registrations so we will definitely be having the Sight and Sound Clinic here at Huron on Tuesday April 4th, 2017. If there are any more families who did not return the registration form but are still interested – additional forms are available in the school office.
TORONTO PUBLIC HEALTH – DENTAL SCREENING
Last week Huron families received an email notifying you about the Dental Screening, conducted by Toronto Public Health, that will be happening here at Huron from April 6th – 11th, 2017. A copy of that letter is also attached here. If you do not wish for your child(ren) to participate in the screening you must notify the school office (416-393-1570).
