I want to thank each of you Mothers who brought in the nutritious, yummy snacks for the students to consume after their swimming lessons. I know the students really appreciated being able to satisfy their hunger after their lessons.
I also want to thank you for contributing the cookies and juice for the treat after the Radio Show. The students did such a good job performing that night, and it was nice to honour them with the goodies. Thank you so much!
Class photos will be taken on Thursday, May 3rd. All students need to wear their dress uniform (including the cardigan).
If your son or daughter has participated in at least one athletic team or club at Highroad Academy, you are invited to attend the Athletic Dinner in honour of the teams and individuals within the realm of Highroad Athletics. The pasta dinner will be served on Monday, May 7th at 6:00pm. Tickets can be purchased at the school office for $5.00. (The last day to purchase is May 3rd) Any profit made from this event will help purchase new athletic equipment.
An ipod went missing after the radio show. If you know of it’s wear-abouts, please let me know. It was in a black case that said Roots on it.
Also, the new spelling list is on Spelling City. It is called Digestion word list.
Here’s a glance at the week of April 30th to May 4th:
Monday: James 5: 10-12 test; swimming at 9:00, honour choir from 8-1:30; The rest of the students should bring their book report books and cereal boxes to work on.
Tuesday: a normal school day. That will be a shock!
Thursday: Science test on the digestive system. Students should be able to label the organs on a diagram. There will also be multiple choice questions from the study notes we took in class on Friday.
Friday: Spelling test.
On Friday, May 18th, we are planning a Crazy Hat Day! It will be a casual day for the students and we are hoping to see some crazy hats! There will be a prize for the craziest hat in each classroom.
Highroad is hosting a special fundraiser for those in the community who are in need called, “Give It Up For Hunger”. It will take place on Thursday, May the 10th. The Salvation Army will be selling hotdogs and other items to students for a minimum donation. Here is the breakdown of items available and the suggested donations:
$2 for a hot dog (2 available per student), $1 for chips, $1 for a drink.
The items will be served from the Salvation Army food truck and the Student Leadership team members will be preparing the food. Money will be collected at the food truck. No money for this event should go through the office.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.
Mothers, if you are available on Thursday morning, would you be willing to come by the YMCA at 9:50 to help the girls brush out their hair after swimming? The girls will need to put a bit more effort into styling their hair that day because of the Radio Show in the afternoon. Thank you!
