During the next few weeks, many students at Horizons will use different code languages including block code, python, to solve puzzles, create games, animations, drawings, and debug existing code as part of a global movement called Hour of Code that introduces tens of millions of students worldwide to computer science. Students are typically very engaged in and enthusiastic about coding. If you would like to code with your student, you can find activities on the computer lab webpage or at Hour of Code.

Last evening, many parents, students, and staff joined together to knit hats. Lucas, our Head of School and his family were here to instruct and encourage us. The evening was a huge success!
If you made or are making a hat and would like to donate
it to our unhoused friends, please bring it to the office. We will make sure it gets to where it needs to go. Thanks so much.

Come get your treats at the Artastic Bake Sale
On Friday, December 6th, the school will be hosting the Artastic bake sale outside the gym. Inside the gym there will be many artisans who have set up tables and are selling their own works of art. Right outside of the gym there will be a bake sale run by 5th and 6th graders. The bake sale will run from 11:00 to 2:00 (or until we sell out) and will have a variety of treats including cakes, cookies, pies, brownies, donuts,
and allergy-friendly treats. The money from the bake sale will be donated to Save the Children (https://www.savethechildren.org). We hope you will come to the gym to enjoy the bake sale and amazing pieces of artwork.
