Remember the whirlwind of your first year as a Kindergarten parent? We’re looking for Veteran Parent Volunteers to help our incoming families navigate that transition with ease.

As a "Welcome Wagon" mentor, you’ll be paired 1:1 with a new parent to answer the "little" questions, from lunchbox tips to the carpool line, and help them feel right at home in our community.

Please click this link or check the flyer going home today in Thursday Folders to sign up!

(If you know a new incoming kindie family who may benefit from this, please help us spread the word!)

Dining for Dollars! ✨

Join us at Lazy Dog Restaurant TONIGHT for a special fundraiser where great food meets a great purpose! ❤

Bring your friends, family, and appetite—because every bite helps make a difference. Whether you're craving comfort food or just looking for an easy way to give back, this is the perfect opportunity to support while you dine.

Let them know that you’re with Heritage. All profits will follow us to Mountain Peak.

Join us in celebrating our amazing Heritage Elementary teachers and staff! The PTO has planned simple, fun ways to show appreciation all week—from stocking the lounge and creating drawings to “chalk the walk” and wearing your teacher’s favorite color. You can also contribute to a group gift fund via GiftCrowd. Thank you for helping us recognize all they do for our students!

Use Gift Crowd to give money to teachers & staff to show your appreciation for all their hard work and support this year to our students. Click this link. Deadline is MAY 15th so don't wait!

Please note the Heritage spirit rocks will not be available for painting after June 2, 2026 during this transition period. The good news is that the spirit rocks at Mountain Peak will be ready to go starting on the first day of school, August 12, 2026!
