WINTER CONCERT

Dear Parents/Caregivers and Friends of Huron School:

It’s nearly show time!

The annual Winter Concert is this week! It is sure to be a delightful programme!

The concert will take place Thursday December 14th, 2017 at 6:00pm in the gym, and will last approximately 45 minutes.

Please note the start time; also there WILL NOT be an intermission this year. If you arrive early, you’ll have a great opportunity to visit the Book Fair (which will also be open after the concert until 7:30pm)!

The format will be as follows:

1. Primary Choir

2. Room 22 Recorders

3. Junior Choir

4. Room 23 Recorders

5. Room 8

6. Combined Junior & Primary Choirs

Ensembles will meet in advance in the following classrooms. Please note that performers DO NOT need to come to school any earlier than 5:45pm.

Room 8 Room 6 @ 5:45pm

Primary Choir Room 6 @ 5:45pm

Room 22 Recorders Room 6 @ 5:45pm

Room 23 Recorders Room 4 @ 5:45pm

Junior Choir Room 6 @ 5:45pm

(After the concert, students should leave their recorders in the staff room.)

If a child is in more than one ensemble, they should go to the room of the ensemble that is on first in the programme.

If you have both primary and junior level children performing, please be sure to pick up your entertainers from all ‘ready rooms’ at the end of the concert.

Dress for all performers is “concert lights and darks” no jeans, please (if possible)! This is a very special evening, and we want the children to feel the importance of the occasion.

Thank you for your continuing enthusiastic support of all of the music programmes at Huron School.

BOOK FAIR

It’s December…and Book Fair time! Our Book Fair is run by Ella Minnow Bookstore and a portion of all sales helps support buying books for our Huron library.

You can preview the book fair on Tuesday, December 12th 8:30-8:55am (during our open library community time). Sales will be on Tuesday, December 12th from 3:30-4:30pm, Wednesday December 13th from 8:00-8:55am and Thursday, December 14th from 3:30-7:30pm (with a stop for our Winter Concert in the gym). Credit card, debit and cash purchases are possible.

(The book fair will be packed up on Thursday night.)

If you already ordered books online, they will be delivered to the students on Tuesday, December 12th. If you do not want the student to see them (perhaps they are a gift?), please email Ms. Will Stork to arrange pick up.

LOST AND FOUND

As always happens, now that the cooler temperatures are upon us the amount of clothing in Lost and Found has increased dramatically, with the addition of winter coats, snowpants, hats, mittens/gloves, scarves, and even boots now a part of the collection…which also contains sweatshirts, hoodies, other tops, lunchbags, numerous water bottles, umbrellas, baseball gloves…

Please remember to check our Lost and Found structure in the front foyer frequently and take home items that belong to you.

A reminder also that ALL ITEMS in Lost and Found will be donated to a charity during out winter holidays. The last day for you to ‘find’ items that belong in your household will be Friday December 22nd – when we come back to school again in January Lost and Found will be empty!

ENTRY INTO THE SCHOOL IN THE MORNINGS

A reminder to everyone that unless students need to come into the office in the morning, all students and their families should walk around directly to the schoolyard and be prepared to meet classes when the bell rings. Students and their families should not be coming into the school unless there is a reason to do so. Families please be conscious of the fact that the office is a very busy place in the mornings and it’s not always possible for us to answer the buzzer immediately when it rings. Please support Ms. Vallely with this and let’s try and reduce the number of people coming into the building unnecessarily. Of course no changes for families coming to Superfriends in the morning.
