Dear HES Families, 

Recently we have had a lot of indoor recess due to the cold, so it has been wonderful to get outside this week! 

Please remember to send your child with snow gear so they can play in the snow. Students who do not have boots or snowpants will need to play on the blacktop. 

Next week is the HES SOUPer Bowl! While the Chiefs and Eagles won't battle it out in New Orleans until February 8, here at HES they will compete for points next week. Students can earn points for the team of their choosing by bringing in cans of soup to donate and/or doing acts of kindness during the day. 


Have a great week!

Rebecca and Hilary   
  
Dr. Rebecca Katsh-Singer, Principal
Mrs. Hilary Sturgis, Assistant Principal
