Final November Newsletter

Welcoming our students back from Thanksgiving Break!

Dear Community,


Please remember that Tomorrow, November 27th is an In-Service Day and students do NOT attend school!

I hope you have enjoyed some good family time during this week off!

We are back together for just 3 weeks before the winter break and there is a lot going on!
First, I hope to see all of you this Wednesday for the special roll out of our new tool BeMe during our All Community Zoom on November 29th from 7-8PM. Here is a video from the founder to give you a little preview of how this tool will serve you. It is important to note that this is an optional tool, but we really hope that many of you will take advantage of it. Be sure to come on Wednesday so you can listen in and have your questions answered live.

Come celebrate with us on Saturday, December 2 at the first annual Holiday Festival! Join us anytime between noon-3 for drinks and nibbles and an opportunity to purchase student crafts and artwork as well as professional artwork and crafts. Not only is this a chance to socialize with Helix families, but all funds raised will go towards supporting our fabulous student activities!

Don't forget to register for our Speaker Series! On Wednesday, December 6, our next speaker, Tiffany Hammond, will read her book, A Day With No Words, to the entire Helix community and then open up for questions. If you haven't already done so, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAkcuutqDMtG9dUYBsRQaPTUDa4v4jLLPO7?_x_zm_rtaid=MjajW5dISbmsYrF4CFFyRg.1702849823088.0960d0c926878660efbe787dc02c29e0&_x_zm_rhtaid=504#/registration.

Finally! Mark your calendars for Giving Tuesday on November 28th! This is an important milestone for our 2023-24 Annual Fund Campaign. When you donate on Giving Tuesday, you’ll be taking advantage of the Founder’s Match: Marjorie and Marc McMorris will generously match each gift, instantly doubling your impact. If you haven’t yet supported the Annual Fund, this global day of generosity is the perfect time to get involved.

Join us in making a difference on Giving Tuesday by supporting Helix. Remember, our goal is to achieve 100% participation from our families and staff, and we’re well on our way to achieving that. We encourage all families to share the joy of giving! Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to donate to Helix. Use the hashtag #HelixGivingTuesday, and let's unleash possibilities for our students.


Gratefully,

Deanna
