Huron Happenings – June 5, 2017

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Help us with our FUNdraising Challenge! Tuesday June 6th is our Jump Rope for Heart Event Day! Be sure to reach out to family and friends for donations. Every donation helps us to reach our fundraising goal and to help save lives. Online fundraising is a quick and easy way to receive donations. Go to http://www.jumpropeforheart.ca and register today! Online donors receive an automatic tax receipt (minimum donation for a tax receipt is $20.00). Plus, when students receive their first online donation (of any amount), they will receive a $5 kick-start and a free skipping rope from the Heart & Stroke Foundation! Every dollar that is donated helps support Heart and Stroke’s mission to keep all kids healthy and create more survivors.
All students also have a pledge envelope for cash/cheque donations. The pledge envelopes can be returned any day next week – we’d like them all back by Thursday please.

Thank you to our 6 student coordinators and the over 30 Grade 5 and 6 Captains who are leading jumping activities. Students from grades 1-6 will be outside from 2:20-2:55pm (and Kindergarten classes have also been invited to come and join in at whatever level is appropriate for them) with a heart-full spirit. You are welcome to join in the fun and heart-healthy activities, so bring your running/skipping shoes and come and join us on Tuesday afternoon.

YEARBOOKS FOR SALE

Our 2016/2017 school YEARBOOK is on sale now. Students will be bringing home a hard copy of the order form, and a copy is attached for your reference as well. The yearbooks cost $10.00 and you must pre-order to receive a copy. Make sure your order form is returned to the office by Thursday June 8th – we will be printing the yearbooks the following week and we will only print the number that have been pre-ordered. All students, any grade level, are welcome to order a yearbook. Our Yearbook Club, under the direction of Ms. Aveling, has been hard at work on the yearbook and we know you’re going to enjoy it. Don’t forget to get your order in by June 8th.

PANORAMIC SCHOOL PHOTOS

The panoramic school photos for this year are going to be taken on Monday June 5th, starting right after lunch. We take two photos – one of the primary grades and one of the junior grades. You will be able to purchase a copy of the panoramic photo(s) if you want, and of course a copy will hang on the wall in the school. Fingers crossed that it’s not pouring rain as we do not have a rain date for these photographs to be taken, and please note that we will go ahead even in light rain, Make sure everyone dresses appropriately to be outside on Monday.

PIZZA LUNCH

Our June Pizza Lunch is going to be on Wednesday June 7th, and this is our last pizza lunch for this school year. Any extra slices that we have will be sold on Wednesday for $2.00/each, but do remember that the number of extra slices is sometimes limited, so please make sure that students who have not pre-ordered pizza bring a lunch that day just in case. On behalf of the entire Huron School Community we would like to extend an enormous THANK YOU to all the parent/caregiver volunteers who have helped to make our pizza lunches such a success this year. We couldn’t do it without you!

PA DAY

Make sure your calendars are marked – Friday June 9th, 2017 is a PA Day and there is NO SCHOOL for STUDENTS on Friday.

LOST AND FOUND

A reminder to everyone that at the end of the school year, everything that is Lost and Found will be donated to a charity, so it is very important that all families claim the things that belong to you over the next few weeks. Please continue to check our Lost and Found structure in the front foyer regularly as new items are added to it on a daily basis. Each of the cubby holes now contains several layers of found clothing, water bottles, lunch bags, umbrellas, helmets, shoes, boots, and various other items.
