Dear Henking Families,

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to each of you for your continued support of our school community. Your dedication and hard work make a significant impact on the lives of your children! A special thank you to our HeHO PTA and other families for planning and hosting the recent Valentine’s Day festivities!

Beginning this week, families across Illinois will have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. As a parent/guardian, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts about Henking! Please take the time to fill out, the more voices the better!

Get ready for an interactive, hands-on STEM adventure! The GEF-sponsored STEM Nights are fast approaching, with experiences in March (HE & HO), April (LY & PR), and May (WB & GG). These nights offer an unforgettable opportunity for our D34 K-5 students and their families to explore the incredible world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Our first STEM Night will be held at Springman, supporting the Hoffman/Henking community on March 12 from 5:30 p.m to 7:00 p.m. By the end of next week, an online sign-up will be available to reserve your family's spot. With limited space, registration will be required to ensure every family gets the opportunity to engage in these exciting learning experiences. The registration link for HE & HO will be shared soon! Keep on the lookout to sign up and join us for this amazing experience!

Be sure to check the weather report to make sure your child has everything they need to be warm and dry!

Please note that if there is snow on the ground, recess is as follows:

• Boots and snowpants - OK to play in the fields
• No boots - must stay on the blacktop

If your child wears boots to school, don't forget to pack gym shoes.

PLEASE!!

This time of year brings with it a lot of clothing! Please label your child's coat, hat, boots, etc. to make returning any lost items back to the student easier.
