Volunteers Needed on Election Day
for Kids Voting Edina
This November, Edina students of all ages will be invited to accompany their parents to the polls to vote for the political candidates of their choice, thanks to an exciting voting initiative called "Kids Voting Edina." Adult and student volunteers are needed on Election Day (Nov. 8) to assist with setting up Kids Voting Polls, counting votes, collecting ballots and helping guide kids through the election process. Most volunteers will be asked to work a 2 ½ hour shift on election night (3:45 - 6:15 p.m. or 6:00 - 8:30 p.m.) with one or two other volunteers.
No prior experience is necessary. One-hour training sessions will be provided October 26 at 10am, 1pm and at 5 pm. Volunteers need only to attend one session. Young people are encouraged to volunteer as well - those 8th grade and under should be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
Highlands Elementary Hearing and Vision Testing
Each year Highlands Elementary administers Hearing and Vision screening to Highlands students. The screenings will be on Wednesday, November 9 and November 10, 2016.
Kindergartners, 1st grade, and 2nd Graders are screened for Hearing. Vision tests are for 1st, 3rd, and 5th Graders. If you have a child that is not in these parameters, but you would like to have your child screened on these days, please contact the nurse at
Heidi.Youngdahl@edinaschools.org
. To accomplish this in a timely and organized fashion, we've relied on PTO volunteers the help usher the students through the process and assist with the screenings. We are in great need of volunteers to make it happen!
We need 16 volunteers to help out throughout those 2 days.
Please consider giving your time.
Thank you very much!
Heidi Youngdahl, HSA - School Nurse
Clothing Donations
Dear Highlands Elementary families,
If you have
gently used leggings, track pants, or sweatpants that your daughter or son has grown out of, could you please donate to the Health Office. With colder and wetter weather, we see a high usage in what we loan out to kids who need a change of clothes.
Thank you,
Heidi Youngdahl, HSA - School Nurse
