HHS Student of the Month - Aidan Thibodeau
Aidan is the son of Amy and Patrick Thibodeau.
Aidan believes he was chosen because “I’m pretty reliable and I’ve been working hard this past month to get everything done for HOSA and FBLA. I pretty much get along with everyone and always try to have a positive mindset. One thing I enjoy is being involved within the school and community and I try to help out however I can.”
Aidan is a sophomore at Herington, who involves himself in: HOSA, FBLA, Forensics, Scholars’ Bowl, Cheer, Class Officer and Drama.
Mrs. Beye believes Aidan received student of the month because “he goes the extra mile in the classroom and organizations to set himself apart from others. He spends the extra time that is needed to be great! Last summer when he placed at National FBLA Contest he spent countless hours to make that happen. Aidan also is very unselfish and is willing to help others around him become great as well!”
Congratulations, Aidan!

High School Testing and TIps
HES Families: Summer is quickly approaching which means we will be sending out summer boost packets for students that qualify for this program in Kindergarten, First, Second, and Third Grade today. Please check your child's backpack. We are going to start with these grade levels, and once we see who is planning on coming we will start looking at Fourth and Fifth Grade students that qualify for summer boost. Next week is a short week, so we would like to have the packets returned to HES by April 11th. Thank you!
