Grayson Reed from Mrs. Roth's kindergarten class was the winner of the Epic Treasure Chest from our Book Blast! He got a large treasure chest filled with goodies!
Book Blast part 2! Delivery day was like Christmas, with all students receiving at least 2 books to take home!
The BOOK BLAST was here!! Yesterday, books were delivered to students and it was so exciting! The Blast was such a success that each student, preschool through fifth grade, received 2 books to take home, while others received more based on individual funds collected. As a school, we raised over $11,000, and that money resulted in lots of books and classroom supplies for our teachers! Thank you to the families and community for making our Book Blast such a success! And thank you to our special helpers who came in to help hand out books! This is part one of the pictures. More will come in a second post!
Young Gentleman's Association - Herington FBLA Community Service Project
Herington Future Business Leaders of America have implemented a Community Service Project this past school year. This projects main focus was on teaching important lessons to 8th grade boys as they move into high school.
Some of those lessons included: proper dress attire, phone etiquette, how to treat a date, tie a tie, polish shoes, iron shirts, how to take couples pictures, how to dance at an event, how to escort a date, how to pick a cologne, and many more.
The hope of the FBLA Chapter was to help prepare these young men for experiences they were getting ready to have in their high school years.

Mrs. Roth's kindergarten class has been learning about the importance of helping out in our community. On Monday night, with the help of their parents, they provided a taco salad meal for the Herington Hearts program. Several students came to volunteer their time to help Mrs. Roth serve the meal. They also colored a mitten and provided the children in the program a treat of hot chocolate and cookies! They did an amazing job and made a big impact on those they served that night! Great job Railers!!
