Just wanted to send a reminder and give more details about our Staff and Student Thanksgiving Lunch set for Thursday, November 20th. Harps will provide a Thanksgiving lunch but students must pre-order by November 13th with their Homeroom/Bible teacher. The lunch cost is $6, will be ordered the same way typical hot lunches are ordered, and will be charged to the family's FACTS account. Students may also bring their lunch to school and choose not to order.
Also, just wanted to clarify jeans are not part of our school uniform this school year. If you have received your pants/skirts, jeans shouldn't be worn except on Thursdays for MHCA Tshirt day. MHCA approved pants are khakis, black pants, and gray pants. Thanks for your help in this area.
Our students from 1st to 3rd grade participated in a unique test that was outside the classroom and beyond the textbooks. Staged trash was placed in different locations on the playground to see who would pick it up.
I am proud to announce that the students passed the test! They showed great responsibility and care for their environment by noticing the trash and taking action to pick it up. It is truly inspiring to see young individuals demonstrate such a positive behavior.
Here's what's happening this week:
Just a reminder about the dress code, at this time, we expect all students to be in our full school uniform each day for school, excluding Thursdays which are MHCA Tshirt day. If your student is unable to do that due to not having some of the uniform pieces, please reach out to us so that we will know. Students may wear winter coats of any kind, but as soon as they step into the school building, those coats need to be removed and are only put on again if the student is exiting the building to go outside. If your student is cold-natured in the classroom, they may wear a school approved outerwear from the portal or solid school colored long sleeve shirt under the school polo. As winter approaches, black tights are a great addition to help with warmth for those who have purchased the skirts. Thanks so much for your help in this area.
