Everyone knows what it’s like to go to work when we’re tired or not feeling well. The day is long, we don’t do as good a job as we usually do, and we’re sluggish and unenthusiastic. If that’s how it is for adults, think of how long and difficult the school day must be for children who aren’t feeling as well as they could be feeling.
January 14-18 will bring a full week of festivities for Homecoming, including Spirit Week—where students can display their Falcon pride—and our Homecoming Dance.
Everyone is invited to see the best in area basketball at the Heritage Classic Boys Basketball Tournament, January 11-12.
Ask most kids, “When does one year end and another begin?” and they’ll probably tell you that the year begins in July or August, ends in May, with a chunk of summer between the end of one year and the beginning of the next.
You know the songs, so sing along!
On Tuesday, December 18, 6 p.m., the musical styling of Heritage’s kindergarten class is sure to get you in a holiday spirit.
It’s time to dress to impress at the Heritage Jr. High Winter Formal, Friday, December 14, from 6-8 p.m. in the South Gym. Tickets are $5 at the door.
There are several holidays that kids love. They love the parades and fireworks on the Fourth of July; they love the decorations and excitement surrounding the end-of-year holidays; they may even love all the good food and getting together with friends and family at Thanksgiving. There is, however, no holiday more kid-centric than Halloween. Oh sure, many non-kids like to get in on the Halloween action, but they are interlopers…intruders.
There are hundreds of statistics to reinforce the value of developing good reading habits at an early age. While every parent has probably heard the dire warnings, the development of reading skills is so important, it bears repeating again and again. Good readers have brighter futures than poor readers, and the die is cast as early as fourth grade. Children who are not reading at a proficient level by the fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
Heritage has just received a grade of “A” from the Arizona State Board of Education, with a performance level rated as Excellent!
Students in grades 5-8 are encouraged to try out for the boys basketball team.
