Two HES students raised a combined $865 during the recent Hoops for Herington Hearts event. Kenley K. raised $465 to support the local program, and Amya G. contributed $400. Their efforts earned them the right to throw pies. Kenley threw a pie in the face of Mr. Stegman, PE teacher. Amya threw her pie at Mr. Morgan, HES principal. Thanks to Kenley, Amya, and all the other students who raised money for Herington Hearts. Thank you to Mr. Stegman and Mr. Morgan for organizing the event and being good sports. #growinglearners
