What's Up Next?
Happy Sunday HES Family & Friends!
I pray that each of you had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Holiday, while taking some time to "Sharpen the Saw." As we get ready to gear up for the next three weeks of full instruction before our next break, we are looking forward to some great things taking place at HES. We hope that you all take part and join in on the fun in learning as your schedule permits. We are so very thankful for each and every one of you that are a part of HES. Your continued support of our students' success is much appreciated. Please see upcoming activities listed below, as well as a snapshot of activities that took place around the campus prior to the Thanksgiving Break. Hope to see our kiddos back in the full swing of action to learn tomorrow, starting at 8:15 a.m. Don't be late!
