HES Families - We are excited to announce that our school is participating in the SchoolMall program. Your student received an envelope with the words Parents Please Help Us across the top. Please take 10 minutes to complete the materials in the envelope and return them to school by Friday, January 31st. That is all you have to do for your student to earn a prize and our school to earn money. Thanks so much for your support and please call the office if you have any questions.
