Bake Sale on Thursday, January 16th

The grades 5 class is hosting a bake sale next Thursday, January 16th to help us purchase compost bins for our Green Games project.  We are starting up a composting program in the intermediate department and would like to raise money to get our program started.  We will likely raise more than we need and will be making a donation to the high school missions team as well.   We need each student in our class to bring in 20 pieces/items on Wednesday, January 15th – that way we have everything and can set up before school on Thursday.  Please make sure the baking is tightly sealed to maintain its freshness. Baking may be from home or purchased; please make everything NUT-FREE.  Each ‘piece’ should be about the size of a large square or cupcake.  If making little items like small cookies, please make 40.   Donuts are always a huge hit.  If you choose to purchase those then please bring a dozen on Thursday morning.  Thanks so much for your support.  If you have any questions, please direct them to Mrs. Goosen.  (pgoosen@highroadacademy.com)

Waste Free Lunch on Friday

In Science we have been learning ways to reduce the amount of garbage we produce.  This week we took a look at our lunches and brainstormed ways we could bring a lunch that contains less waste.  We came up with things like using containers instead of ziploc bags, bringing a water bottle instead of pre-packaged juice, and bringing less things that come already packaged.  On Friday we are going to do our best to bring a waste free lunch!  We have invited other classes to join us.

Cozy Casual Day on Thursday

Students raised enough points from the food drive in December to earn a cozy casual day.  This is a day to wear comfy clothes to school (not pj’s).

Ski Trip Payment Reminder

Ski trip payment is Wednesday and Thursday after school.  Forms also need to be returned this week (to the classroom).
