Family Update

We hope everyone has been enjoying this weekend! Thank you to those who were able to join us for a sweet day yesterday at Bing's Bakery for our PTO Spirit Day!

This Wednesday is UNITY DAY! Our goal is to remind students that we will stand up against bullying and want everyone to feel safe and welcomed at school. We are asking for students to wear orange on Wednesday for a school-wide photo.

Friday will be a PINK OUT day across CCPS for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We are asking for all students to show off their pink!

We are excited to share that House Walk/Run shirts have been created and available for purchase. Shirts are just $11.66 (lowest price by the vendor)- Shirts are not required although recommended as they will be sprayed with chalk. This is a FREE event for families to walk/run, participate in crafts, and spend time together outside! There will be food trucks if you would like to purchase any items.

**Shirts must be ordered before October 26th to guarantee arrival before the event. Order your today at: https://www.personalexpressions.biz/elementary-schools/hhes-color-run-shirt-order-by-october-26-all-sizes-available/

We are asking for CANDY DONATIONS for our Trunk or Treat Extravaganza! Thank you to those who have already donated! Please send any additional donations to the main office.

SAVE THE DATE: Our HHES Trunk or Treat Extravaganza will take place on Friday, October 30th. We are happily accepting candy donations to make this event SWEET! Please send any donations to the office and contact Mr. Bill Clouser at wlcouser@ccps.org if you would like to reserve a space to host a trunk!

It is hard to believe we are already planning for next year's CCPS budget. This is separate from the funding we receive for being a Title I or Community School. Please take a moment to complete this brief survey as your input is appreciated!

We are so excited to kick off our Morning Smiles with Moms and have some shared time with the special ladies in our lives! We hope that you will join us on the sidewalks for both our bus and car riders to welcome our Herons. Our parking lot is a busy place- We ask that you park in the driveway across the street at Five Rivers Church. Please plan to arrive at 8:40 with your smile ready:-) Our last bus and car are usually in by 9:00. If you are interested in joining us, please complete the form below or reach out to our school counselor, Tahiya (Cooper) James at tecooper@ccps.org with any questions.

We look forward to a very exciting, fun filled morning!

Don't worry dads... Be on the look out for High Fives with Dads in the near future!

In our opinion, every month should be National Bullying Prevention Month! ParentGuidance.org has shared several resources to support families and students!

Students love to pick House items from our Heron store or to receive swag at House events!

Remember, funds raised will help us purchase House swag for our students to show off their House pride throughout the school year! 🎉🏠
