Highlands Lost and Found:
We are trying some new things with Lost and Found this year in an attempt to connect more lost items with their owners. If you are new to Highlands, the Lost and Found is housed in the anteroom as you head out to the fields/ Highlands garden. Tables with L&F items will be set out during school events - take a look and reclaim your items!
1. We will periodically post pictures on the Highlands and PTO Facebook page - take a look for your kids lost items.
2. Label! Volunteers will try to return labeled items back to lockers or place them in a 'labeled' bin. No guarantees, but we'll try.
3. Lunch containers and water bottles will be donated weekly
4. Unclaimed items will be donated or used as backup winter gear at Highlands or other EPS elementary schools.
5. Donation dates will be communicated in the Highlands newsletter.
Thanks for your help. Encourage your kids to look for lost items!

Fairview Clinics
are exchanging books for candy this year.

Volunteers Needed on Election Day
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 and extra's for each student
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.
Also please
send an extra pair of pants to school to keep in your students locker in case of wet, mud, accidents etc.
Thank you,
Heidi Youngdahl, HSA - School Nurse
