Hello HHCS Community! As you will have seen on Sycamore News Nuggets, Sept. 30 we will be observing Orange Shirt Day. Teachers will be talking with their classes at different age-appropriate levels about Canada’s history of residential schools, and about reconciliation. Students will learn that “Every Child Matters” and will participate in creating a school art mural. Please prepare for your children to wear an orange shirt on that day. If you would like to purchase an official Orange Shirt Day one like above please visit https://www.orangeshirtday.org/
Moose fact of the week:
Moose are the largest of all the deer species. Males are immediately recognizable by their huge antlers, which can spread 6 feet from end to end.
HHCS, have you been spotting our various moose and moose tracks around the building? Bruce the Moose is on the loose!

We also did activities for International Dot Day when we read The Dot by Peter Reynolds and learned a song about it by Emily Arrow.
Have a great week HHCS!
