4th Grade Students: Music Concert
Greetings Heritage Families,
Mark your calendars!!! The 4th grade classes are having a great year in music and we are gearing up to share what they have learned with you at our winter concerts. The 4th-grade music concerts will be on the evening of Monday, February 24, 2025. There will be concerts at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:15 pm in the Heritage Cafeteria. Here is a list of which classes will perform at each concert BUT if a student has a conflict, they can attend at a different time. Each performance will last approx. 30 minutes. We look forward to seeing you after the holidays and before baseball season begins!
Please let Mrs. Hayes know if you have any questions - hayesj@salineschools.org

Hornets Helping Hornets
Every once in a while, a Saline Area Schools family needs just a little bit of extra help. When that happens, we want to make it easy for other families to fulfill that need without knowing who the need is for. These needs will include such things as coats, boots, snacks, gas cards, lunch money, etc...
To learn more and view the needs, simply sign up to be on the weekly email distribution list here. This is a very easy way to help out fellow SAS community members!
Thank you for caring about our Saline Area Schools families! Questions? You can reach us at salinehornetshelpinghornets@gmail.com.
