The holiday season is often called the season of giving. We remind our children that it is important to give to others less fortunate than us around Thanksgiving and Christmas because not everyone gets presents or has warm clothes to wear in the cold months. Parents can carry on the season of giving and make it a year-round occasion that kids will look forward to.
Jr. High students will have an evening they’ll always remember at this year’s Winter Formal on December 15 from 6-8 p.m. Girls that would like help getting ready can sign up for an appointment at the Braid Bar.
If you’re a 6th-8th grade student and have a good voice, share your gift with others and audition for the Jr. High Choir. Auditions take place on Tuesday, November 28, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Who’s got game? Heritage students and families are about to find out at the 5th Annual Heritage Classic boys’ basketball tournament, January 12-13. If you think your team has what it takes, sign up and be a part of this popular event.
Eating healthy is essential for kids’ growth and physical development. The right nutrients help to gain more energy, improve mental performance, and boost the immune system. Just saying “avoid junk food” is not enough to convince kids to make healthy choices. These tips for healthy eating will get you and your child on the right path.
Make a $200 donation to Heritage, earmarked to support the 8th Grade Trip, and your student will not need to pay a fee for the trip. Parents will get 100% of their $200 donation back when filing their state taxes, making this a free trip!
On December 1, from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., students in all grades are invited to put their pajamas on and join us at Peter Piper Pizza for a locked-in evening of food, beverages, desserts, games, prizes, a dance party, and more! Tickets are $25, cash only, available at the front office.
On the third Thursday of every November, smokers around the nation come together to take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. This event challenges smokers to quit using tobacco products and provides them with resources to stay away. Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the world, which is why the Great American Smokeout remains an important event.
What do you think of when you hear the word Halloween? Eating an endless amount of treats, playing scary pranks, or carving giant pumpkins may pop into your mind. October 31 brings a day full of costumes and trick-or-treating. But why do we celebrate Halloween? This spooky holiday dates far back and has changed quite a bit over the years.
Join us on Tuesday, November 21, for our annual Thanksgiving Feast, a free event for Heritage students, friends, and family. We’ll have turkey and all the trimmings, courtesy of the generous food donations made by Heritage families.
