Sept.30^th National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - A reminder that on Friday, Sept.30^th there are no classes for students as the provincial government had declared September 30^th a provincial holiday in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the lost children and survivors of the residential school system, as well as their families and communities. There will be no school for students K-12 next Friday, September 30, 2022. Please find more information here.

Thursday, Sept. 29^th is Orange Shirt Day @ HES– Students are invited to wear orange ahead of the national day for Truth and Reconciliation. We will be having a school-wide assembly led by Mrs. Branch (Guidance) and our Grade 5 Hawk Squad student leaders. Mrs. Branch will also be co-teaching activities with our teaching team in classrooms throughout the week in .

School Picture Orders – Please return these to school with your child as soon as possible. Retakes will take place mid-October.

HES Green House – Our greenhouse team invites families to drop off any summer plants, i.e. geraniums to our greenhouse before the onset of frost. Please contact the school at 832-6021 to arrange plant drop off details.

Hawk Squad Student Leaders – We had an overwhelming expression of interest in our student leader teams last week. We will be meeting with our Hawk Squad initially by grade level.
