Congratulations to the many students who learned a story and performed for their classes and the judges. The eight student storytellers who wowed the judges earlier this week were chosen to share their stories for the student body and their parents this afternoon at a storytelling exhibition assembly. We appreciate Mrs. Bee and her efforts bring this opportunity to our students.
Welcome to the weekend!

Thanks to everyone who came to the Classic Skate Night. It was so fun to see you there. We appreciate the PTA for sponsoring this fun family activity.
It's family Skate Night at Classic Skating. Come anytime between 4:30-8:30PM tonight and have some fun! We'll have our traditional picture on the center of the rink at 5:30PM. Please remember this is only announced on the rink side, so you'll want to be on that side a few minutes early to participate.
It’s nearly time for the Battle of the Books battles to begin and we are still in need of a LOT of help to run the battles. Next week are our round robin battles which allows EVERY student to participate in three battles. We must have volunteers to help make this happen. We welcome any/all volunteers that have completed their background check; you do not have to have a student doing battle of books to serve as a battle facilitator. Please sign-up so that the students will get to experience this fun activity.

Our 5th grade students did a fabulous job today presenting their Patriotic Program for students and then again for parents. This was a great opportunity for them to showcase some of things they have been learning for US History this year through song. A HUGE thank you to Miss Louw, Ms. Jones, and Miss Campbell for the dedication and time they have given to teaching the students these important facts and creating and practicing this program.
Tomorrow is Spirit Friday! Wear your favorite Highland t-shirt - or you can wear red white and blue to support the 5th grade who will present their Patriotic Program tomorrow.
It’s nearly time for the Battle of the Books battles to begin. Our students have been working hard to read all of their books, but in order to make this program happen, we need multiple parents to help us each day. Don’t worry if you have never volunteered for Battle of the Books before; it is easy and fun. Please sign up using the links below. (It would be great if you could sign up to help at multiple battles if you have the capacity.) If you have any questions, you can contact Breanne Fors at bdfors@gmail.com.

Please help us spread the word about Kindergarten and New Student enrollment for next year. If you have a neighborhood social media group you are a part of, please share this post there so families who may not already attend Highland will see it as well.
This year we are really encouraging enrollment before the end of May. Skyward is going to be upgraded to a new version over the summer and will be unavailable May 25th-Aug 1st. To better help us prepare for classes next year it is very important to know who is coming to our school and early enrollment helps with this.
Thank you for helping us spread the word. Please call the office if you have any questions. The school phone number is 385-579-6360. Thanks.
