March is National Women’s History Month, and 2018’s theme honors women who fight all forms of discrimination against women. Women’s History Month first began as a single day, which later led to a week, and now we dedicate the whole month of March to honoring women’s achievements in history. Check out the timeline throughout the years that guided the way for Women’s History Month:
February is full of holidays with Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, and Presidents’ Day. The whole month of February is also a time to celebrate and remember the great accomplishments and impact of notable African American figures in history. Learn more about the people and events that led to February becoming Black History Month.
At Heritage Elementary School, we believe that high-quality early childhood education is essential for a strong academic foundation. We are a tuition-free charter school offering strong academics, sports programs, and extracurricular activities that will get your child excited about school.
Many kids spend the third Monday of February sleeping in late and enjoying a day off from school. With an extended weekend in the future, it’s a perfect time to explain to your children the full history about Presidents’ Day. We can help you get started:
Do you need time to relax for an evening? Has it been awhile since you’ve had a date night? On February 14, from 6-9 p.m., we will be offering dinner, arts and crafts, and a dance contest for your children, so you can enjoy Valentine’s Day in style.
Be a part of the team! We’re having coed soccer tryouts February 5-6, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on the soccer field, and a girls basketball interest meeting on February 5 at 7:30 a.m., with tryouts starting February 12 in the JH Gym.
When it comes to learning the details of language, math or science, there is no reason why your children should look at this as a chore. Creating a grammar wall at home is an opportunity to make learning more like a favorite game. Here are some artistic and exciting ways to get started.
We’re asking all parents to join Heritage staff in donating blood. On February 12, from 1-5 p.m., the Bloodmobile will be in the school parking lot, and we’re inviting everyone to please stop by and help.
Girls Softball and Boys Basketball are both Top 5 in the state, and we just want to wish them a hearty congratulations! We had 16 teams who participated this year and we want to say thanks and great job for all the hard work you put in this season. Thank you to all our students, families, and loyal supporters. Falcon Pride!
The 5th Annual Celebration for the Arts event, grades K-5, will be held February 1. Seating is at 6 p.m., a lasagna dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m., and the talent show at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance or $8 at the door. There will also be a silent auction and art gallery exhibition of the students’ works.
Parents and guardians of all 8th grade students need to attend this meeting January 11 at 6:30 p.m. We will be going over the 8th grade trip to Six Flags, graduation requirements, information for high school enrollment, and promotion pictures.
Kids grow up fast and parents often get too caught up in daily activities to think about their child’s future. Writing down all your experiences, hopes, and lessons for your future adult child will help give them a better understanding of how you were at that age and what they should expect in the coming years. Your child is young now, but what do you want to tell them when they become an adult?
