TREATIES RECOGNITION WEEK
Treaties Recognition Week is the first week of November every year. Treaties Recognition Week was introduced in 2016 to honour the importance of treaties and to support Ontarians to learn more about treaty rights and treaty relationships.
During Treaties Recognition Week we recognize the treaties that shape Ontario and Canada and bring awareness to treaty rights and treaty relationships.
To mark the inaugural Treaties Recognition Week last year, the Ontario Government and Indigenous partners launched a dedicated online treaties resource library – https://www.ontario.ca/page/treaties featuring educational guides, videos and tools developed by Indigenous organizations for everyone across the province.
NEWS FROM THE MUSIC ROOM
The fall term marches on! In the Music Room, the pupils from Rooms 22, 23, 24 & 25 have been using technology to work with a composition website. After this week, they will not be required to bring in their electronic devices, as most pupils are nearing completion or this project.
For both primary and junior choirs, lyrics and rehearsal track mp3s are posted on the Music Room wiki found here: http://huronmusic.wikispaces.com/Huron+Choir+Archives
Recorder music for pupils in rooms 22 & 23 will be posted by November 10 here: http://huronmusic.wikispaces.com/Recorder+Stuff
Thank you for your ongoing support of all music activities at Huron.
Ms. Hanson
PHOTO RETAKES
The photography company will be here again on Wednesday November 8th at 9:00am to take individual photos for students who were absent on our first photo day, and to take class photos for classes that were missing students due to the soccer tournament that was happening on the same day.
If your child had photos taken on the original photo day and you would like retakes that can be accommodated on Wednesday as well. Please return the original photo card that you received and these photo retakes will also happen on Wednesday.
REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONY
Huron will be having our Remembrance Day Ceremony on Friday, November 10th, beginning after morning recess (at approx. 10:45am). All parents/caregivers are welcome to join us for this ceremony if you are available.
LOST AND FOUND
As the weather changes we know from experience that the amount of clothing (and there’s plenty of other items as well such as: helmets, baseball gloves, lunch bags, water bottles, umbrellas, etc.) in Lost and Found seems to increase dramatically, as coats (and perhaps hats and gloves etc.) are removed when the students get hot playing outside…and then not always reclaimed. Please remember to check our Lost and Found structure in the front foyer frequently and take home items that belong to you. Unfortunately we have also had a few situations recently when items that were in Lost and Found are no longer there, and unfortunately they did not get picked up by the proper owner. Please, let’s all work together to make sure that Lost and Found items have a chance to be claimed by their rightful owners.
KIDS KITCHEN
Please see the attached flyer from Kid’s Kitchen – the program that operates a lunch program here at Huron on Tuesdays. A reminder from them that their November Specials are: Meat lasagna (regular and gluten-friendly) or Vegetable lasagna or Turkey burger. Please see the attached flyer for more information about their program and how to register.
