What is a Makerspace? A makerspace is a collaborative work space inside a school, library or public/private facility for making, learning, exploring and sharing.

The makerspace concept is being added to our library and technology classes next year! We need donations of building toy/activity such as legos, magnets, gears, K'Nex, blocks, dominoes, Lincoln Logs, etc. Please send in the donations to the attention of Sarah Idman, School Librarian.

Morning Music Selection of the Week at HES!

Scheherazade is the young bride of the Sultan. She marries the Sultan in order to save all future young women who have married the Sultan and been treated very badly.. She tells the Sultan fascinating stories, leaving him in such suspense each night that he can't treat her badly the next morning in case he does not hear the end of the story. After 1,001 of these well-told tales, the Sultan decides to treat young women with the respect they deserve.

Rimsky-Korsakov, the Russian composer, wrote Scheherazade in the summer of 1888.

The music uses lots of tunes that describe exotic dances, mystery, and the far Eastern countries. It is typical of the style of Russian music of this time.

"Sun Safety" message from Nurse Fiocco...


With the summer fast approaching, the I would like to send out a reminder on how to practice sun safety.


  • Please apply sunscreen ( 15 SPF or higher) to your children before school, especially if they will be attending a field trip or be outside for an extended period of time. It doesn’t have to be expensive, the Equate brand sold at Walmart, recently received a very high rating

  • Make sure your children wear hats, cover-up clothing and sunglasses when participating in outdoor activities

  • Avoid direct sun exposure when possible between 10 am and 4 pm. Seek shade!

  • Lead by example and practice good sun safety yourself
