We hope you enjoyed the extra long weekend and had a great Thanksgiving with friends and family.  We had a great short week in the grade five classroom and have a number of things coming up…so keep reading!

Field Trip – please send in your forms for the Science World field trip coming up on October 25th!

Pumpkin Math – we are joining Mr. Hancock’s class for a morning of Pumpkin Math on Monday, October 23rd.  We spend the morning in groups, counting, rounding, estimating, weighing and having a lot of fun working with pumpkins!  We would love to have several parents from each class come and help us for the morning – we promise you will have LOTS of fun with these kiddos!  Please send Mrs. Goosen an email at pgoosen@highroadacademy.com or catch her after school if you are able to help.

New Bible Memory Verse – it is up on the blog and the students have gotten a new sheet in their planner.  The first verse will be tested next Wednesday.

Photo Retakes – if you need your child to have retakes please let the office know or touch base with Mrs. Goosen on the weekend so she can let the office know.

Full Dress Uniform – just a friendly reminder that full dress Wednesdays has begun.  Students need to remember to wear their correct uniform and will have one more week of grace before the dreaded ‘fines’ start getting handed out.  =)
