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?
Visit the Great Schools website, review Heritage, and, on January 10, we’ll pick three random winners to receive a $25 gift card!
Exercise keeps kids physically and mentally healthy. Children need at least one hour of physical activity a day to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Getting active improves the immune system, makes bones stronger, and decreases risks of diseases later in life. Starting exercise at a young age can prevent certain types of cancers and will help blood pressure and bone density in the future. From rollerblading to joining a sports team, there are many options to get kids out and about.
On December 20, students will get in the spirit of the season by wearing their most extreme, outrageous holiday outfits for Holiday Cray Cray Day. In a school-wide competition, the person with the most hideous holiday apparel wins a pizza party for their class.
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.
