Mrs. Gutsch's third grade class enjoyed several beginning of the year activities. One meaningful experience was reading "Pete the Cat, I Love My White Shoes" and discussing how Pete does not let little things get him down. We brainstormed issues that get in our way sometimes, one of which is other people's words. Students then squirted out an entire mini tube of toothpaste (representing others' words) and were asked to put the toothpaste back into the tube. This proved almost impossible! The takeaway: choose your words wisely, because once they come out of your mouth, you can't put them back in! We can clean up the mess, but we cannot fully put the toothpaste back into the tube! Our focus is using meaningful and kind words and having a positive attitude. #beingallwecanbe
Middle School and High School students will be bringing home a letter describing two upcoming surveys that will be administered to students in grades 6-12. This letter went home with Middle School students yesterday and will be going home with High School students today. If you would like to opt your child out from participating in these surveys, please return the "opt out" form to your child's school by September 6, 2019. If you have any questions, please contact the HMS or HHS office.

First graders in Mrs. Koehn's class learned that each student needs different tools to learn and that learning will look different for each student. Mrs. Koehn used band-aids to show the students that they don't always need the same treatment; instead, each student will receive what they need to make them successful! #beingallwecanbe

HES Families: Please remember that each student needs to have an extra pair of clean shoes for PE. These do NOT need to be a new pair of shoes. We had the gym floor refinished over the summer so we are wanting to keep it as nice as possible. If the extra pair of shoes is going to be a hardship please contact our office staff and we will do our best to support you!
