Tabitha's Way is having a community wide food drive, and we at Highland are looking to help. With the anticipation that SNAP benefits will not be available starting November 1st, Tabitha’s Way is expecting to support a larger number of people than usual. We will be collecting items this week. If you can provide any of the items on their suggested list or other non-perishable food items, please donate them in the main entry of the school. We will collect items until after the Halloween parade on Friday. If you have any questions please reach out to the office. Thanks for helping show the Tabitha's Way community that Highland cares.

Overnight our temperatures have changed quite a bit. We expect a much cooler day tomorrow and a colder morning. Please encourage your child to wear clothing and a jacket/coat for outside mornings and outdoor play at recess.
This week is also Halloween. Classes will share individually plans for Halloween parties or activities. The school-wide Halloween Parade will be on Friday. See your email for more details about the parade.

It's here...one of our students' most favorite days of the year...it's CANDY FROM THE ROOF!! Tomorrow Mr. Killpack will throw candy from the roof for each grade level during their recess. Tomorrow students can also bring a stuffed animal with them to school and participate in a variety of recess games at lunch recess. We are all very excited. 😁🎉👏

Kindergarten students had lots of fun with the new additions to the playground. Some wiggle cars and bounce on balls got lots of attention today. Though the novelty will wear off these will be some extra elements of play they can continue to enjoy.

We hope you got a chance to see our student body thumbprint rainbow hanging in the main hallway during your visit for parent teacher conferences. We want to thank our art teachers Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Darrington, and Mrs. Sparks for helping our students create this wonderful art display that connects our students in kindness and creativity, and also shows off their individuality.

We want to make sure and thank Marc and his custodial crew for the amazing work they do taking care of our building and maintenance needs. From sick kids to broken HVACs he is tirelessly dedicated to making sure everything he can take care of is under control (and tries to help so much with those things even not in his control).
Thank you Marc for ensuring we have a clean and safe place to be every school day!

Please check the lost and found when you are here for parent/teacher conferences. There are several items that have been lost for a long time. It's also a great chance to see the location (just across from the office) for when coats/jackets go missing as the weather gets colder.

We have an amazing update for our fundraiser - the students (with your donations) had gotten us so, so close to the goal...but then just as we thought we were going to end up just shy of the total, we got word that the Nicholes family has made a VERY substantial generous donation and another matching donation to take us WAY over the top!! ALL Students will get ALL of the rewards including a super fun decades dance party and a phenomenal lunch where we will also TAPE MR. KILLPACK TO A WALL!!
We want to thank the Nicholes family and their corporate partners for ensuring that our fundraiser was such a great success and that ALL of our students get to participate in these great rewards.
If you haven't seen it yet, each student brought home their lap card with their total laps and a free treat from a local business sponsor.
