It was a very smoky week this last week, which meant that students were stuck indoors all week.  All things considered, they did VERY WELL – I know they missed getting outside at recess and expending some energy!  It is not often that I am thankful for the rain – but this weekend I certainly am!

Here are a couple of things coming up:

Pumpkin Math on Tuesday:  We are excited to have pumpkin Math this Tuesday afternoon.  Please send along a large t-shirt students can wear over their uniform as well as rubber gloves if your child won’t want to touch the ‘pumpkin goop’.  I would love it if a parent or two would be able to help out on Tuesday afternoon!  Please send me an email at pgoosen@highroadacademy.com if you are able to help.

Fall Colour Day:  On Wednesday, October 26th students can wear fall colours instead of their uniform.

Socktober:  Please send socks to help those less fortunate!  If your child sends three pairs of socks they can wear ‘fun socks’ for the rest of the month.

Upcoming Dates:

Tuesday, October 25th – School Photo Retakes

Tuesday, October 25th – Pumpkin Math afternoon (after retakes)

Wednesday, October 26th – Fall Colour Day

Thursday, November 10th – Remembrance Day service at 10:30

Friday, November 11th – Remembrance Day (school closed)

Have a wonderful weekend!
