What's Up Next?
Good Day HES Family & Friends!
We hope that you are enjoying our Winter Break and looking forward to a great week ahead! Thank you to all that supported our Second Annual Love & Basketball last week. HES came up short, but we are still proud of our boys and girls for playing with heart. If you haven't had a chance yet, please take some time on this President's Holiday to "Sharpen the Saw" with your family. We'll see you back tomorrow, February 20, bright and early for the next round of continuing our success towards high academic achievment.
Lastly, if your child has absent for any reason and you have not submitted written or doctor's excuses, please be sure to submit to your child's teacher. We thank you for your continued support of our students and school.
