HES had a couple of assistant principals this morning! Hayden Mein and Blake Vogt Jr. earned this by purchasing coupons from the school store with their positive behavior points. They supported a couple of students with their recess behavior, passed out yearbooks and field day shirts, and also helped out in the cafe with lunch! #GameOnRailers
HES Families: We have a few extra yearbooks for sale in the HES office! The price for each yearbook is $10. A huge thank you to Miss Heitfield for her hard work with putting together a wonderful yearbook. If you preordered a yearbook it will be sent home with your student today.

Students in Mr. Hirsch’s American History class are learning about how the atomic bombs worked in WW2. They did an activity to show how the uranium fission bomb known as Little Boy and the plutonium fusion bomb known as Fat Man worked. They acted as atoms and it showed the students how they worked in the nuclear reaction.
