Spreading our Thanks!

The 2-6th Program is currently selling SPOONS of all sorts to help us raise money and awareness of homelessness and PROJECT BREAD.  The children have created many beautiful sports, animal, cartoon, and people spoons in hopes to sell them and raise money for PROJECT BREAD.  Please visit the Cafeteria to check out our fantastic collection of spoons.  We are selling them for $2.00 each or any amount your wish to give and hope to raise at least $250.00 for PROJECT BREAD!  All proceeds will go to Project Bread.  Please see Malaina or Jess for more information.

We hope to help any family who may find it difficult to find a warm meal for the holidays.  Please contact Noelle should your family not have the means to eat a warm meal on Thanksgiving.  We believe 

Thanksgiving is  about sharing, caring and giving thanks 

to the wonderful families we work with.  

We wish your family a wonderful holiday.

Heath Extended Day will be open from 12:00-4:45pm on Wednesday November 25th.  Our program will also be hosting a pizza party for those who wish to not pack a lunch.  Heath School will not provide lunch on Wednesday November 25th.  Therefore, you will need to send your child with $2.00 for pizza OR pack her/him a lunch from home.

Our Annual meeting was held on this past Monday.  We handed out new handbooks and answered questions about our programs.  Please feel free to pickup your new handbook and contact Noelle should you have specific questions or concerns.  

In addition, we continue to look for volunteers to become our BEDAC (Brookline Extended Day Advisory Comitee) Rep., shop for our program if you belong to a wholesale club, and help coordinate our volunteers.  Noelle is looking forward to hearing from those who have a little time and the desire to help out in HEDP.

Please note that we continue to find it difficult to phone for children who have  a change in schedule or a scheduled (and sometimes an un-scheduled) play-date.  

We ask you to do one of three things to give us the notice before your 1:00pm.  1)  WRITE an email before 1pm,  2)  WRITE a note and place it in the HEDP mailbox in the MAIN OFFICE or  3)  PHONE Heath Extended Day before 1pm to let us know.  

It is impossible to take attendance, check in with classroom teachers, walk kids to and from the bus, make announcements over the intercom, and TRY to phone families, emergency contacts and friends to find kids that do not show up by 2:25pm.  Our importance is for the safety of each and everyone of the 67 children we serve at all times.

Please show your understanding by alerting us of schedule 

changes no later than 1pm of the day in question.
