As everyone knows, our big enrollathon/carnival event is March 20th. The flyer asked you to invite someone to come see what Heritage has to offer.

This applies to charter schools, too because families choose us.
You’ve probably heard the buzz around campus about our greenhouse project. On March 20, we will officially unveil the Tyre Butler Memorial Greenhouse, dedicated to one of our students who will be forever remembered fondly. The greenhouse will be used for educational (and fun!) hands-on projects that will help our students learn science and math principles and valuable life skills.

Our students will be given an assessment on mathematics, reading or science on February 3, 2015. We encourage everyone to try their best and get plenty of rest the night before.
