Heritage H.A.N.D.S. - Meeting next Wednesday!

Please join us for our first monthly meeting of the year next Wednesday, September 10th at 8:15am. We will be meeting outside at the Alli Olsen memorial.

Dear Returning Heritage Families,



Welcome Back! Heritage is blessed to have many new families this year! Please consider helping welcome these families to Heritage by being a Parent Pal. 

Parent Pals is a program intended to give each incoming family a contact for questions and information in order to make their transition to Heritage as welcoming as possible.

Parent Pals are asked to contact new families a few times a year to touch base, answer questions that arise, and to invite new families to attend school events. The initial contact can be an email or phone call, and then you and the new family can decide what form of communication works best for everyone. The time commitment is minimal, but the impact of welcoming our new families into our Heritage family is enormous.  If you are interested in welcoming and sharing the wonderful warmth of our Heritage family with our new families, this calling is for YOU!  

Please use the Signup Genius below to volunteer for this great opportunity. Volunteers will be emailed the contact information. If your child’s class does not have a new student, but you are interested in becoming a Parent Pal, or if you have any questions, please e-mail Laurastopak1@gmail.com

Thank you for helping serve our Heritage families!

Heritage Prayer Walk – September 19

Please join us as we walk and pray for Heritage Christian School on Friday, September 19. We will meet outside the school at 7:45am to pray for students, families, staff, faculty, board, etc. as we walk around the school. Children are welcome to join, but they will be expected to stay with parents and participate (there will not be childcare provided for this event). If you are unable to be physically present but would like to walk and pray from where you are, please email Mrs. McDonald (mcdonaldn@hcs-nl.com) for prayer points. Thank you for joining us as we seek the Lord. “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:12-13

Opportunities to Volunteer



We still have a few opportunities for volunteering in the classroom this year. Classroom volunteer signups also went out this week so if you haven't had a chance to sign up there, please check those out. If you have questions or didn't receive the signup genius, please contact Erica Wallace (wallacee@hcs-nl.com)
