Fabulous start to the week. We did lots of work on the chromebooks this afternoon. I’m trying to remember to get some photos. I will put some up soon of the kids using the chromebooks.

Just wanted to mention a couple of things:

1. Terry Fox Day – Terry Fox day is on Wednesday, September 30th and we will once again be doing our Toonies for Terry. If possible, please send a toonie or loonie with your child on Wednesday as we raise money for Cancer research. We will be doing some running sometime during that day in memory of the remarkable achievements of the late Terry Fox.
2. Highroad Knights Day – Wednesday is also our first Highroad Knights Day. Students are allowed to wear Highroad apparel along with pants/jeans (no leggings). Highroad apparel will be available in the school foyer on Wednesday morning before school. Shirts are $10 and hoodies are $30. If students do not want to wear Highroad apparel (which is fine), students should wear the normal uniform. Highroad Knights Day are one way that we, as a school support the various athletic teams and build school spirit.
3. Pop bottles– You may have noticed a note in your child’s planner asking them to bring an empty 2 litre pop bottle to school. As we are starting our habitats unit, each child will be building their own habitats using pop bottles. This won’t be happening for a couple of weeks but wanted to get this out now so that families can start thinking about getting one. I would prefer that the pop bottle be clear and not coloured.
