We want to extend a a big thank you to the HeHo PTA for organizing fantastic fall parties! Our students had an amazing time, and we truly appreciate all the time and effort that went into making these special memories!
Our students have been working hard to earn "Good Eggs" for demonstrating positive behavior throughout the school day! Currently, we are working to reinforce positive behavior on the bus—both to and from school and during field trips. Second grade student leaders have created a fun lesson that includes a song to help reinforce bus expectations. This week, our student leaders presented the lesson to most kindergarten classrooms, with plans to share it with all students. You can support these efforts at home by reviewing the bus expectations outlined on the poster below!
Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring the well-being of our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

A performance group called Griffin’s Tale Children’s Theatre will be visiting Henking this school year on April 11th. This is a super fun opportunity for our students, as this group takes stories and poems written by OUR KIDS and turns them into skits, sketches, songs, raps, dances and more. Mrs. Davidson and Mr. Turner will be talking to 1st and 2nd grade classes over the next couple weeks to explain the process.
If you would like, you can help them create a writing submission at home! They can submit writing they've done for units at school or free writing they may have done at home or school. In the past, the performers have adapted fiction stories, comic books, poetry, personal narratives, opinion pieces, drawings, and much more. To be considered, students need to turn in their writing submissions to Mrs. Davidson or Mr. Turner by 11/26.
We will also emphasize with the students that they choose stories that they can best adapt to the stage. If your story isn’t chosen, it doesn’t mean your writing was not amazing!

What's on Your Plate: Family Recipe Contest
The D34 Food & Nutrition Services Department wants to serve your favorite family recipe on the D34 lunch menu this spring.
Submit a recipe for an entree or side dish (fruit, vegetable, or grain). All recipes will be reviewed by a panel of Food & Nutrition Services staff members. Finalists will be updated to meet the federal nutrition guidelines and then tested and rated by students.
The winning recipe will be featured on the school menu this spring! The winning student(s) also will be invited to help serve their recipe at lunch.
Last year, over 300 students at 5 of the District’s schools sampled the recipe finalists and selected the winning recipe. The winning recipe was shared by a Lyon Family and featured on our Spring menu, Yum Yum Chicken! It remains a favorite menu item at both Middle Schools this year. Please submit your favorite family recipe this year!
