Heron Heights Elementary

By Helen Downey

Where has this year gone? As we move into May and the last few weeks of our inaugural year, mark your calendar with a few key dates.

HHE would like to thank the many parent volunteers for their energy and commitment during a Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast at 9:15am May 12 in the cafeteria. Come join us and celebrate your success. Following breakfast, all parents are invited to a general PTA meeting to elect PTA officers for 2010/2011. Anyone interested in running for a PTA board position should contact the nominating committee chair, Julie Fine at juliesarafine@comcast.net to express an interest and find out more.
HHE’s first parent technology night is May 12. Learn what the district has to offer students using the BEEP student portal.  

The final Spirit Day of the year is May 14. Let’s make this one the biggest and the best with all students wearing their school T-shirt in support of a great first year.

Now, time to eat great food and raise money! HHE has partnered with Scarfones and on 5/4, 5/11, 5/18, 5/25 a portion of their profits will go to the school.

May 26 is the final Waste-Free Wednesday. Pack a waste-free lunch for your children and send in juice pouches emptied and air dried for recycling.

Congratulations to our fifth grade students! Our first Heron Heights Promotion Ceremony is scheduled for June 9 at 8:30am.

Finally, HHE would like to thank the Parkland Chamber of Commerce for its donation from Taste of Parkland and, once again, recognize the effort from Adult Night which raised thousands of dollars enabling HHE to purchase new technology for student K-5.
