What's Up Next?
Good Day HES Family & Friends!
Thank you for your support in helping us celebrate 100 Days of school and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. last week! Our students and staff had a great time recognizing the many milestones that have been made thus far this year and the importance of service. Now, we are ready to take it even further these remaining days of this school year to reach higher heights and exceed at meeting our end of the year goals. We can definitely do that with all hands on deck. We look forward to continuing supporting you and your child as we reach towards high achievement and success for all students.
Lastly, please be reminded that school starts at 8:15 a.m. Please make every effort to have your child arrive on time to school daily. Also, if your child is absent for any reason, please be sure to submit a doctor's excuse or parent written excuse the day your child returns back to school. We thank you for your continued support of our students and school.

Habit of the Week: Habit #6 – Synergize!
This is the habit of creative cooperation. Individuals should think of teamwork when it comes to solving problems. After all, two heads are better than one when trying to come up with solutions. When you synergize, you are also working on increasing your communication with others. This will eventually lead every individual to having better relationships with others, especially when you are working on the same job.
Family Activity: As a family, pick a recipe to try out this week and plan a family meal together. Make sure that everyone has an opportunity to contribute in some way. After you have enjoyed your delicious meal, take time to discuss how it felt working together to get the job done successfully, as well as what it could have been like if only one person had done it alone.
Habit #6: Together is better!

Mrs. Mullis's Kindergarteners Writing Skills at Work
This group of kindergarten students have been reading and comparing different versions of the gingerbread man stories this winter. They had an opportunity to retell or create their own version of the story. What an awesome job these kiddos did! We have some future authors in the making!
