Hedding is excited to announce the return of our “Poppin’ Popcorn Fundraiser.” This fundraiser was very successful with student participation in the past and we are hoping this year to reach or surpass our goal of $6,000. The proceeds raised will go into our Hedding Student Activity Fund which is used ONLY FOR STUDENTS to purchase supplies and extra resources to help make learning fun. Attached you will see the Popcorn Shop Brochure and inside the brochure you will find an order form along with an envelope to return back to the Hedding Office no later than Monday, March 22.
Also, we are happy to announce that students and their participants (buyers) may shop the popcorn online with this link:
https://my.perfectpastries.biz/signup/9WRD.
The link may also be found on the Hedding Grade School Facebook page. Shopping the online link gives participants two different types of popcorn brands to purchase along with two different shipping options; 1)Poppin’ Popcorn; and/or 2) Emma’s Gourmet Popcorn. Please remember, if participants order online, this option requires online payment only. The office cannot take money/order forms for online orders. Therefore, Emma’s Gourmet Popcorn is shipped directly to the participant’s address whereas Poppin’ Popcorn will be shipped directly to Hedding Grade School with a pick-up date to be announced.
We hope everyone will participate in this delicious popcorn fundraiser! For each bag sold of Poppin’ Popcorn, 50% goes back to Hedding. For those students who participate, prizes will be awarded and you can find the incentive prize sheet on the back of the order form or the popcorn link. Also, a top seller and top class for each week will be awarded. Stay safe and remember to only sell to immediate family members and close friends!

❄️🥶Due to changing road conditions overnight - D276 will implement a Remote Learning day for Tuesday. There will be no in-person instruction on 2/16. Remote instruction will mirror the in-person schedule. Full Remote will take place as normal in the afternoon.
D276 Remote Students wishing to return to In-person Learning for the third trimester (starting on Feb. 22) may do so by notifying their building principal prior to the end of the day on February 18, 2021. After the 18th, Remote students may only return to in-person on the first Monday of each month, as is the current model. If you have interest in returning to in-person, the start of the 3rd trimester is a perfect time.
Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students celebrated 100 days of school on 2/8/21.
While not as we want it - 🏀 is back.
