Head's Highlights

Dear Head Community,

What a generous school we have! We were able to donate 750 toys and gifts to GRACE church to be used for three separate needs-based outreach programs. We also have items for those in need within our immediate Head family community. We donated over 200 clothing items to MUST ministries through our warm clothing drive. It feels so good to be able to give to others this season. Thank you for making that possible. I hope you take advantage of the awesome Bedtime Stories some of the staff created for you. It is my wish that you have a special holiday season. I can't wait to see all of our friends back in 2025!

Yearbooks are a fun way to look back on each year as you grow, so make sure you order one for your student today! Each book comes with 2 free Custom pages for you to include your own special photos and memories of the year, but those pages don’t have to be created until April. So purchase at this link in the meantime!

And please send any photos you’d like included in the book or questions you may have to Meghan Chambless at rdyearbook@gmail.com

Over the winter break, a few of our Head Elementary staff members will be reading their favorite stories online.
