The taste of summer last week was a nice surprise! It may not be as nice this week, but we love all the earth's weather, lol... Because this week is Earth Week, leading up to Earth Day on Saturday. Celebrate by dressing up each day this week.

FHN would like us to remind everyone that if your child is entering Kindergarten, 6th, or 9th grade this fall, they will need a school physical, and you can begin scheduling those physicals to avoid the big rush as we get closer to fall registration.
If you are an Orangeville school district parent and have not yet taken the 5Essentials survey, it would be very helpful if you could take it by the end date of March 31st. The survey is school-specific (GS/JH/HS), so if you have children in more than one level, you can complete it for each level. Thank you.
