This is one of our most cherished days of the year! We invite any relative or friend of a High Point student who has served, or is currently serving our country, to join us on Friday, November 10th at 1:00pm so we can honor them for their service.

TREAT OUR ANIMALS WELL COMMUNITY GIVING DRIVE
Thousands of dogs and cats must stay in shelters while waiting to be adopted. Help make sure these animals are comfortable while waiting for their forever home. High Point will be collecting supplies for the Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center and CHA Animal Shelter.
The Franklin County Dog Shelter needs soft and chewy dog treats and new/gently used large towels and blankets. CHA Animal Shelter needs cat toys, small fleece blankets, and canned cat or kitten food.
We will collect supplies the week of October 9 – 13. Send the supplies to school with your students and they can drop them in boxes at the front of the school.

Reminder: Illness Protocal
We are starting to hit the time of year where illness sets in. Just a reminder....
"If the child is vomiting, has diarrhea or has a temperature of 100 degrees F or greater, the child must stay home from school until they are fever-free, vomit free or diarrhea free (without the use of medication) for 24 hours."
