Friday December 13th KERNELS popcorn snack at recess Thursday December 19th SUBWAY lunch At North Haven we have been working on ways to positively impact our school community. We noticed that many of the lunchroom bins for recycling are full of items that cannot be recycled. What ends up happening is that the recycling and the recycling bag have to be thrown in the regular garbage -every single day! This uses an expensive recycling bag. The same thing happens with compost and compost bags. That's a lot of bags being wasted! All students can help by taking home all of their lunch containers and peels to try to have garbage-less lunches at North Haven. Thank you for working to positively impact our school community!
Dear North Haven Families,
Remembrance Day is November 11th and there will be no school that day. It is a Canadian statutory holiday day to remember the contributions of Canadian Veterans. As a school we will be recognizing Canadian veterans on November 8th at 10:30am with an assembly. Families are encouraged to participate in our annual event. November 8th is also National Aboriginal Veterans Day, a day of remembrance and commemoration of the contributions of Indigenous veterans in the First and Second World Wars, as well as the Korean War. On November 8th, we will learn more about Indigenous veterans and recognize the contributions of all veterans. Sincerely, North Haven School North Haven has a lot of exciting adventures planned this year in support of our year-long inquiries. Here are the dates of the field trips that we will be inviting our parent volunteers to join. It is because of your support and time that these adventures are made possible. We would like to thank our parent community in advance. Please email the teacher if you are able to come along.
