Service Learning Project

Last week, Grade 7 students started to work on this year's Service Learning project. To begin with, they were asked to answer the questions "What makes you happy?" and "What is happiness?"

Here is a word-cloud created with some of their answers:

They then connected their answers with the idea of sustainability, after watching this video:

The story of stuff

Today, students learned and discussed about the Carbon Cycle, and their own carbon footprint. In order to develop this further, students have been asked to fill out a worksheet at home, with parents' assistance. The worksheet is due next Wednesday, November 30th. 

We thank you in advance for your support!

Parent -Teacher Conferences

Dear Parents,

Tomorrow you and your child are invited to attend parent-teacher conferences. Conferences will be held in the main gym from 8:30-4:30. If you have already had a conference with the HUMS team, you are welcome to still come and meet with your child's other teachers. Due to the number of parents that we hope will attend, we kindly ask that each conference (per teacher) stay under seven minutes. If you need longer with a teacher, you can contact them for an extended conference time on a different day. We hope to see you and your child there!

Best Wishes,
Stacey Henderson
Grade 7 Team Lead
