Dear Parents and Guardians,

Here are some of the events and activities happening this month at HHES:

Parent Council is offering MacMillan’s products as our fundraiser for February/March 2023. Our fundraising campaign will generate funds to support maintenance and repairs for our school playgrounds.

**NEW THIS YEAR:

Our MacMillan’s fundraiser is moving to SchoolCashOnline. All ordering will take place online at https://ugdsb.schoolcashonline.com/  School Cash Online will open for orders on Friday February 17, 2023

Orders will close on School Cash Online on March 8, 2023

Products will be delivered to the school on April 20, 2023 – Pick Up will be from 3:00-7:00 pm
