Horizon Happenings
December 2024
Season's greetings to you all!
Winter is here in full force and recess can get very cold for your child if they are not dressed appropriately. PLEASE be sure to send your child fully dressed for outdoor play as we DO go outside nearly everyday!
This means your student(s) should have:
Warm coat
Hat
Mittens
Boots
Snow pants (If they want to play in the snow when it arrives)
*Please contact us if you need assistance with a warm coat (Sarah Holyoak at ext. 4037)
We have a lot of fun community events that we would love to have you join us at. Dec. 6th is our viewing of The Polar Express at the District Office and we also have Homework Diner at Horizon on the 13th. Please come join us!
We wish you the best over Christmas break and hope you enjoy making wonderful memories with family and friends. We look forward to your student's return on January 7th when school resumes.
Peace, Love and Joy for the new year!
