The Lee’s Summit Educational Foundation's annual fundraiser--which has raised over $2 million for LSR7 in 30 years--announced improvements that include the return of a physical Major Saver card, an improved digital option, and the new Prize Vault for students. Students will bring home materials on Monday, October 26. The campaign will conclude on November 11. Thank you for your support!

· Kick Off: Monday, October 26th – Friday, October 30th

· Cash/Check Collection Days: Wednesday, November 4th and Monday, November 9th

· Campaign Closes: Wednesday, November 11th

The cash/check sales and tickets will not show up until Major Saver put those in their system after the two collection days (Nov. 4th and Nov. 9th).

If a parent/guardian has questions, they can contact the Major Saver office at 816-554-7999 or email them at info@majorsaver.com

Shop for lots of gifts, magazines, and gain access to retail discounts! HPE will receive a portion of proceeds to bolster our activity funds (for many things that are not covered with District funds). Thank you in advance. We wish you and yours a joyous year-end holiday season.

P.S. Our Student Lighthouse also raises funds to assist HPE families in need during the holidays. Send a tax-deductible donation of cash or check (payable to "HPE) to the Front Office with a note in the Memo for "Student Lighthouse."

At this time, the HPE playground is closed before and after school hours. Unfortunately, due to vandalism over the past year, we are closing the playground during these times in order to help keep it clean, safe, and ready for our students. The playground gates will be locked during these hours. Please help us by encouraging your child to NOT attempt to jump or climb the fence to access the playground.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our HPE playground a safe and welcoming space for all of our students. Thank you for helping us take care of our school!

We would love your help! If you are interested in volunteering in our MakerSpace room and helping our students explore, create, and learn, please sign up using the link below!

Families have access to tools that can help support healthy technology habits at home. With Securly, parents/guardians can view the websites their student has visited, set guidelines for which websites can and cannot be accessed, and establish a bedtime or device-free time.

These tools can be especially helpful for families who are working to establish healthy boundaries around technology and screen time. We encourage families to explore these options and find routines that work best for their children. Creating consistent expectations at home can help students develop responsible and healthy digital habits.
