THE DAILY
This Week Face2Face classes – This week 2.2 classes are Face2Face and 2.1 classes are Online.

 If you Are Having a Tough Time, Please Reach Out – It is okay to
 feel anxious or stressed. And it’s okay to have tough days. But you
 need to know that you are not alone. So, if you're having a tough
 time, please reach out - to your friends, to your family, or to
 resources like Kids Help Phone. And together we will get through
 this.
 If you or someone you know needs help immediately, call 911 or
 the B.C. Crisis Centre at either 310-6789 (no area code required)
 or 1.800.784.2433 where help is available 24/7. You can
 alternatively call Crisis Services Canada at 833.456.4566 for help
 24/7 or text 45645 from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. in English and French.

What Was Your Most Memorable Post of 2020? – Hi, Uhillians! The yearbook crew would like to see your
 most memorable Instagram, WeChat, Facebook, Line, or Snapchat post of
 2020. The post can be the food you made, a place you went or a person you
 really missed--whatever you think is your best post of the year. Please send us
 the original photo (no screenshots!) along with your full name and grade as soon
 as possible: brl1342601080@gmail.com

Check Out the Student Council Bulletin Board! – Hi Everyone! Before you leave for the holidays, make
 sure you pop by the Student Council bulletin board to see photos and learn fun
 facts about your STUCO members! The board is located near A-pod downstairs

 winter break, and we'll see you next year.

United Student Reach Out Club – *UPDATES: Thank you UHill for all your kind donations thus far to the
 USRO annual Comfort Drive. We are collecting toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste,
 deodorant etc), travel size items, socks, hats, any little luxuries, or comfort items, for
 our shelter that we support on the downtown Eastside. We almost have our second
 box filled. Please keep bringing items in, to the box outside 1E0. You earned your first
 incentive reward, when Ms. Tsai dressed up! (see the screens around school). We
have another staff member ready to step up and offer some fun when the 2nd box is filled. Let’s see that UHill
generosity of spirit shine through!” "

Grade 12 Graduation Blurbs/Write Ups & Baby Photos – It's now time to submit your grad blurbs/write
 ups and baby photos. This is the writing that will appear next to your portrait in the

 How to Submit: Please see the grade 12 Team to access the form.
 Deadline: Friday January 29, 2021.

Hello U-Hill students! – Up until winter break, University Hill will be collecting donations for The Cinderella
 Project, a Registered Canadian Charitable Organization. As found on
 their website, thecinderellaproject.com, Cinderella Project’s goal is “to
 help break cycles of poverty by encouraging vulnerable youth to stay in
 school and complete their high school education. We work to encourage
 and recognize outstanding young people from across the Lower Mainland
who reach the milestone of graduation despite overwhelming adversity.
This year, as the Cinderella Project can’t host their annual event due to COVID-19, they will instead be
collecting donations to create “Bravo Boxes” to give to less fortunate students. We will be collecting
donations in boxes around the school up until the start of winter break. Ideas as to what you can donate and
do to help are on posters around the school. All donations will be deeply appreciated and will help bring a
little festive motivation to these grade 12 students who have worked so hard to succeed in the face of
hardship. Thank you for your support, and we hope you feel the festive spirit of giving this season!
