Week of Sept. 24 - 28th

Happy first day of winter!  Sorry, I mean first day of Autumn.  I do hope this weather takes a turn for the better so that the farmers can get out and take off the rest of their crops.

Congratulations to all of our runners who attended the Coloniale Classic Cross Country Run.  They all had fantastic runs.  Thanks also to the parents for taking your child to the run and cheering on the NHCS students.  

WE Club ~

Our WE club has been very busy organizing events for the school.  If you have not heard of WE before, WE is a movement that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world. Making doing good, doable.  So at the school level the students focus on doing good for the school community, our larger community and more globally. Some of the events that our WE club currently is involved in are:

     Collecting food for the Leduc Food Bank .  Non-  perishable food items will be accepted at the school between now and Sept. 28th.

     Collecting money donations for the family of the Principal of Thorsby Elementary.  Mrs. Jubinville and her family lost their home to a fire over a week ago.  

     To get everyone back into the school spirit, they have organized a 'Look Alike Day' as our first spirit day.  Students can choose people to dress alike with on Tuesday, Sept. 25.

Student Enrollment Verification Forms ~

Verification forms have been sent out to all families through the PowerSchool parent account.  If you have not already returned the form, please do so as soon as possible.  Without these forms signed, we are not able to have your child participate in any extra-curricular activities such as field trips.

Raise Some Dough for YOur School ~

NHCS has recently partnered with Cobs Bread Leduc Common.  If you are purchasing items from Cobs Bread in Leduc Common mention New Humble Centre School prior to placing your order.  Cobs will then donate 5% of your purchase to the school.
