MUSIC MONDAY
Launched in 2005 by The Coalition for Music Education, Music Monday is the world’s largest single event dedicated to raising awareness for music education. Each year, hundreds of thousands of students, educators, and music makers participate in a simultaneous nationwide concert performance of an original song written by a Canadian artist. It is a full day of celebration, always on the first Monday of May. In 2018, Music Monday will happen on May 7th. Students, community groups, musicians and artists across the country joined their voices to sing the Music Monday anthem ‘Sing it together’. For more information about Music Monday please visit: https://www.musicmonday.ca
We are encouraging all parents/caregivers to come and join us for our Music Monday celebration on May 7th. We’ll start as soon as lunch finishes (at approximately 1:00pm) gathering in the basketball court area (we’ll move into the gym if the weather doesn’t cooperate). Come and hear our choirs and our band and join in the singing of the Music Monday Anthem (the words and music can be found on the website: https://www.musicmonday.ca/anthem-sing-it-together/ and of course the Huron School Song will round out our celebration. Please feel free to invite family and friends – Music Monday is definitely a community event!
TRACK and FIELD
Unfortunately Mother Nature has not been on our side when it comes to our Track and Field season this year. Our first meet, the South Conference Qualifiers, is going to be held on Thursday May 10th however, due to our prolonged poor weather in April, we weren’t able to nearly as many practices as we might have liked. None the less, our Track and Field athletes have been working hard and our team has been selected. Students selected to compete next Thursday received their permission forms on Friday – please make sure that form is returned to the school as soon as possible. Weather permitting, please find attached the schedule of practices that we’re hoping to have over the next few days, in advance of the Track and Field meet on Thursday. Please note that as TDSB has changed their policies, only students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 will have the opportunity to attend the Track and Field meet this year and spaces in each Track and Field event are limited so therefore selected athletes have been offered the opportunity to attend the meet.
LOST AND FOUND
The amount of clothing and other stuff in Lost and Found increased dramatically last week, as outdoor clothing was removed when the students got hot playing outside…and then frequently not reclaimed! We already have an enormous collection of ‘stuff’ in Lost and Found …please remember to check our Lost and Found structure in the front foyer frequently and take home items that belong to you. Remember too that food containers left unclaimed after several days in Lost Found will be thrown out when they start to become ‘science experiments’. And especially now with warmer temperatures, that happens faster.
