Huron Happenings – May 21, 2018

KINDERGARTEN SPRING CONCERT

Kindergarten families, friends and relatives, make sure your calendars are marked for Thursday May 24th – our Kindergarten Spring Concert! The concert will be starting at 6:00pm and all Kindergarten students will be performing with their classes. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday night.

HURON EARTH HOUR

Our Huron Earth Hour for May is going to be held on Friday May 25th from 2:20-3:20pm. As part of our commitment to being a Platinum Level Eco-School, this is an opportunity for our school community, every month, to focus on ways we can reduce our energy consumption. We turn off as many lights as we can and power down/turn off as many electronics as possible. Classrooms use this time for discussions and planning. We would encourage Huron families to think about engaging in similar activities at home as well.

BIKE TO SCHOOL WEEK

Bike to School Week is a celebration of active transportation and biking and builds on the success of Bike Month. Schools participate in Bike to School Week by encouraging their students to walk and roll to school, and by promoting the benefits of active transportation (walking) and biking. This year, Bike to School Week is happening at Huron and in the TDSB from May 28th – June 1st, 2018.

PICNIC FOR THE ARTS – ONLINE AUCTION

This year, our Auction is going ONLINE! We want to give everyone the chance to enjoy all the fun activities at the Picnic without worrying about making that last bid in the Gym. Since lots of money raised comes from the Auction, we really need everyone’s help to get donated items. Huron’s “Ask Letter” is attached — print it out and take it to your local businesses…Where you shop, dine out, have coffee, pamper yourself, take the kids…anywhere! If we each got one item donated, it would be our best Auction ever! Questions? Contact our Auction Leader, Heidi McDonald: heidimcdee@yahoo.ca
Donations are due by JUNE 4, 2018.

LOST AND FOUND

Our collection of Lost and Found items is reaching epic quantities…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 at the end of the school year so please make sure that all items are claimed.
