Principal News
Highlands Families,
We are excited to host a school-wide food drive event led by our Student Leadership Club. We will be working with Erie UpLink. Erie UpLink is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization committed to connecting Erie families with resources to fulfill their basic life needs, including connecting Erie families with opportunities to be of service to one another. We are thankful that we can count on the food to fill our spring Tiger Packs.
Tiger Packs are backpacks with kid-friendly, nonperishable food items sent home with students, at parent request, to bridge the food gap over long weekends and holiday breaks for kids who normally have free breakfast and lunch at school. For more information www.erieuplink.org.
* Food Drive Starts November 1 and will end November 18.
* Collection boxes will be placed outside each classroom.
* Items Needed:
-Canned Soup (kid favorite varieties, microwavable or pop top preferred)
-Ramen Noodles
-Canned SpaghettiOs or Ravioli
-Optional item- Peanut Butter- snack cups/packets or small jars
Thank you for your willingness to support others! Let's help fill those packs.

Reminder about recess and weather from out Parent Handbook:
Recess is an integral part of the school day and all students will be expected to participate. Students should wear clothing and shoes appropriate for outside play. Students can be excused from recess with a doctor’s note. Children will go outside for recess unless there is excessive precipitation, lightning or if the temperature falls below 15 degrees (temperature + wind chill).
