Seismic Update
Henry Hudson’s Project Definition Report is due to be completed this month. The Seismic Committee is working hard to get access to the report so that we don’t have to wait months to find out our results.
Eric Hamber Secondary has received their report and many of their existing spaces will not be rebuilt, including some of their classroom spaces, auditorium, gymnasium and playing fields. Members of the Hamber community have started a petition to re-add these spaces to the plan. You can find it here. Supporting other schools in their fight for a fair seismic upgrade is the best way to help Hudson get a fair plan.
Dogs on the Field
There are patches of white sand all over the new field, all of them holes that have been dug by dogs. If your family brings a dog to the park, please watch them and don’t let them dig.
Flip Give Fundraiser
The Hudson PAC has signed up for an easy new fundraiser called FlipGive. The way it works is that once you sign up, online retailers (such as Amazon, Starbucks, Chapters, etc) make a small donation to our PAC every time you place an order.
Visit https://www.flipgive.com/ to sign up and join our Henry Hudson team. Our team invite code is R635VQ. From there, you can place orders through their site, or install their phone app and/or Google Chrome extension so that you can sign in to FlipGive anytime you are on a participating retailer’s site.
PAN Seismic Meeting
PAN (The Parent Advocacy Network for Public Education) is hosting an open meeting for anyone with any seismic experience on January 30th, 6:30-9:00pm at The Tipper Restaurant.
DPAC Workshop: Anxiety in Children and Youth
DPAC is hosting a VCH Child and Youth Services Workshop – “Anxiety in Children and Youth” on Thursday January 31 at 7:00 pm at the VSB Office.
The goal of this workshop is to help caregivers recognize anxiety in their child or youth, and to learn strategies to support them. The facilitator will provide information about school and community resources, and where/how to access supports and services. A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to Q + A.
