Upcoming Dates and Reminders:

Hearing Testing: November 13 is when we are scheduled to do hearing testing. We walk over to the middle school for this. 

Parent Volunteers: We will be starting our parent volunteers next week! HERE is the document to see when you signed up. Thank you in advance for helping in our class! 

Shoes/clothing: Please make sure you are sending your child in appropriate forest school shoes. As the weather changes, having an extra pair of socks in their backpack is a great idea! We are also noticing as the mornings are getting colder a jacket would be awesome!! Please check the weather before sending your child :) 

Oakie: It is about that time of year where we may need our oaki suits. If you could please send it to school. We will leave them at school until October break or if they need to be washed. They say to wash them with no detergent and not to dry them to keep them waterproof! 

Family Night Hike on October 12! 

Let’s have an evening of fun and hiking together at the Outdoor Discovery Center Trails at 4214 56th St. Come and go as you’re able between 6:00-8:00 on October 12. Cider and treats will be available thanks to our parent board!

Ticks: Please check your child for ticks at night. I found one on my leg yesterday! We try our best to find them on the kids but it is always best to double check.

Forest school T-short form: 

Are you ready to showcase your HC Forest School pride? Do you dream of a cozy sweatshirt for the upcoming fall season? Well, we have the perfect fundraiser just for you!

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Good Ink for an exclusive t-shirt and sweatshirt fundraiser. Good Ink has teamed up with Holland Christian to design apparel that proudly represents HC Forest School. The funds raised through this initiative will contribute to essential projects on our campus, including the construction of storage sheds for learning materials and the establishment of an additional little library!

Here's how your support will make a difference:

Storage Sheds: The funds raised will be directed towards building much-needed storage sheds. These sheds will serve as a vital resource for our K-5 Forest School program, enabling us to provide children with easy access to a wide range of learning materials on a daily basis. From books and writing materials to loose parts and sleds, these sheds will house everything needed to enrich the educational experience of our students.

Our online store will be open throughout the entire month of September, so you have plenty of time to secure your Forest School apparel for the season ahead!

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to HC Forest School. Your participation in this fundraiser will help us create a more enriching and engaging learning environment for our students.

Let's come together as a community to wear our HC pride and make a positive impact on our Forest School campus!

Walk-a-thon: Walk-a-thon packets were sent home with your child today.

Letter Report: I have attached our letter report in our email. Please keep working with your child at home. We love to see all the growth from each child. If your child has anything bolded that means they did not improve or learn their 3 letters this week. It was a short week, but we would love for kids to improve each week!
