Huron Happenings – June 25, 2018

THE PRIME MINISTER’S AWARDS FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE

The Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence have honoured exceptional elementary and secondary school teachers in all disciplines since 1993, with over 1,500 teachers honoured to date. Recipients are recognized for their leadership and exemplary teaching practices as well as for their commitment to help the next generation of Canadians gain the knowledge and skills they need for future success in a world inspired by ideas and driven by innovation. The Awards are administered by Innovation, Science and Economic Development on behalf of the Prime Minister, in partnership with Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and with financial support from the program’s corporate partner, the RBC Foundation. It is my honour and privilege to let everyone know that Mr. Christopher Snow (teaching Grade 4/5 at Huron this year) has been chosen as a recipient for a Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence this year! As is written on the website: https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/pmate-ppmee.nsf/eng/wz02280.html

“This activist educator harnesses technology, both to show children how to answer big questions about global and social issues and to teach skills; he also encourages his students to consider what role they can play in bringing about change!” CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Snow!

LOST AND FOUND

Our collection of Lost and Found items is now spread out over tables in the first floor hallway and in the lost and found structure in the front foyer to help you see, and claim, items that belong to you. Please remember to check the Lost and Found items every day this week as new things will be added every day as classrooms are being cleaned out for the end of the year. Remember 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 by Friday!

A reminder to everyone that next Friday – Friday, June 29th, 2018 – is a PA Day and there is no school for students this day. Thursday June 28th, 2018 is the last day of school for the students. We hope everyone has a wonderful summer!
