The Spartan Chronicle

Herrick Families,

Thank to all of our students who participate in our Red Ribbon Week Spirit Week! We had a very large number of students participate this week which included dressing fancy, wearing hats, and halloween costumes! Don't forget that all of our daily announcements are now on our Herrick website (http://www.dg58.org/he).

VETERAN'S DAY: We are excited to share that we have over 200 veterans who will be recognized in our display for Veteran's Day! We are so thrilled to see our Spartan Community recognize so many veterans!

PTA: Please see the PTA information below. Our incredible PTA is putting together a few fundraisers and is looking for submissions for the PTA reflections which is a national PTA event. Information will be included in our announcements and packets of information will available for students to pick up!

LUNCH: Please remember that if a student forgets their lunch, we have extras with in the cafeteria. Students are able to have lunches from home dropped off, but lunches from restaurants, door dash, grubhub, etc. are not allowed.

Please take a look at our November Spirit Calendar that our Student Council is sponsoring!

Thank you and have a great rest of your day!

Dr. David Norman

I am happy to share that Herrick has found a cheerleading coach for this upcoming season! I want to thank Mrs. Jania for her willingness to coach and provide this opportunity for our students! Please see the informational packet HERE.

Mrs. Jania is hosting two cheer workshops:

• November 2nd (Tuesday) & November 3rd (Wednesday)
• 7:15 AM - 8:00 AM

Cheerleading Tryouts will be held on November 4th (Thursday) morning from 7:00 - 8:10 AM.

Informational packets will be available outside the main office on Monday.

Each year PTA supports multiple programs for all of our students, staff and families. Raise Craze is our big fundraiser for the year. It will go from November 1st-18th. Raise Craze is an online platform enabling students to set up secure, custom websites where they request donations via email. During the fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others.

To keep it fun 7th and 8th grade students will compete against each other for highest amount raised. The grade that raises the most will get a special treat at lunch. First prize is a ticket for the opportunity to throw a pie at the principals or teachers face. (Up to 5 students)

Please contact Stephanie Vroman with questions at Stephanie@vroman.net.
