Highview Public School

The grade 8 graduates make a huge donation that allows us to build our first water reservoir.

Highview just keeps on giving. Thanks for donating the proceeds from the holiday dance to DSDO! $260.05 raised by the students!

Jean Anderson lead the Highview staff to do some fundraising by putting on a couple of dance sessions. Proceeds were split between two charities and DSDO was happy to receive $150!

Thank you to Ms Marchand and the grade 6 social studies students for selling bracelets. The profits from the $1400 worth of jewellery sold will be put toward our food programme!

Thanks to the Eco Team for spearheading the shoe drive! An astounding 121 pairs of shoes were collected! Some still even had tags on them!

In April, Ms Jean Anderson lead a lively 'Dancing for Dekpor' and between those who attended and the generosity of donations from others who couldn't even come, a whopping $335 was raised! Then The Gee Gees, under the direction of Mrs. Kim Nelson, sold popcorn and water at the May 'Arts Night' to raise funds to cover shipping costs and collected $233. In June, Highview collected 15 backpacks, 37 pairs of shoes and cleats, and a whole lot of summer clothes to be sent to Dekpor!

Mrs. Applebaum and her Grade 5 class decided to donate the proceeds ($273.95) from their highly successful Halloween Haunted House to help cover the shipping of the Ghana Gift Bags that the Greater Good Club, lead by Mrs. Nelson, decided to take on! Highview rallied together as they always do, and filled 60 drawstring bags for the students of Dekpor! The surplus items are being sent for future use, too. Amazing!

Jean Anderson leads another Dance for Dekpor with Highview staff and friends, and Carla Walker made her debut as an aerobic dance instructor. These awesome ladies raised $473 one night after school!

Thanks to the Greater Good Club, Mrs. Yarmus, and Mrs. Scott for encouraging everyone to bring in shoes. Seven huge bags of running shoes and soccer cleats were collected!

In May, Highview held another shoe drive for us. Three stuffed shipping bags were filled with the donations! Thanks to Mrs. Amanda DeFrancesco for her help. Check the Highview Shoe album, they arrived in Dekpor in August 2019.

The Highview Hawks were issued a challenge by Ms Sheardown...to fill one shipping bag with shoes. Well, that got knocked outta the park! In a mere four days, and astounding SIX shipping bags were stuffed full! Yes, that is the most that Highview has ever collected in one go. What a great show of kindness! Thanks to the Spirit Team for helping to sort and for doing the daily announcements.
