Helmets are important for more than just bikes...whether you are long boarding, skating, using a scooter or a bicycle - it's important to wear a helmet. Two students at Highland are helping to share this important message today in remembrance of a family member. Their cousin Wesley overcame challenges of a brain injury he received during an accident where he wasn't wearing a helmet. Each year their family helps to spread awareness of the importance of helmet safety in his honor. Students at school today may have seen them wearing their helmets and ask some questions. You can visit Wesley's Instagram with them if you want to learn more: https://www.instagram.com/wesleysamuel2.0/?hl=en

We are still looking for the family Veterans in our community to add to our Honor Wall. Parents - we realize that asking for this means that most of you will either have to nominate yourself or your other family members - please take a moment and make sure you are included. We don't want to miss anyone in our community and especially not a parent of our students.

Veteran information can be shared on this google form: https://forms.gle/j1hvhKGJLmAyNdk96
We will be accepting nominations through Monday, November 9th.
We would like to include all extended family members of our students.

Please all the office or email jenniferharding@alpinedistrict.org if you have any questions.

Thanks

Friday is Halloween. We invite you to come to our Halloween Parade. The parade will begin at approximately 8:05-8:10AM. (We know there is some confusion because of an email accidentally sent by Shelly Elementary to the entire district - please take note of our schedule day and time.)

Please be courteous of neighbors when parking and do not park in the bus lane. Be courteous of others in the hallways as you are standing to watch; everyone is excited to see their children.

If you come for the parade, please take a moment to check the lost and found. We have quite a few items that have been lost with the changing weather. Any remaining lost and found items will be donated at the end of the day.

As a reminder on costumes:

Students can wear their costumes all day if they'd like. If students have a blowup costume, they will need to change after the parade (also, we don't have batteries or repair kits for costumes). All costumes must meet dress code and students need good shoes for Recess. (Remember a jacket/coat for recess too.) Please no extreme blood or gore (remember we have littles here at school who could be scared/worried easily). Masks can worn for the parade, but not afterward. Students should be prepared to put them in their backpacks.

We are looking for a day full of fun!

Check out the latest addition of the Highland Happenings Newsletter. Inside you'll find information about upcoming events, the November lunch menu, and community flyers.

Parents - we also have a request we hope you can help with. We've had several spills staining our school carpets - when students bring drinks with them to school, could you please have them bring them in sealed spill-proof containers. This will help us take better care of our building. Thanks.
