Reminder:

Next week is Spring Break. The office will be closed. Enjoy time off with your family!

Spring Break Photo Challenge:



Where are you heading for Spring Break? Whether you're traveling across the country or just enjoying some time close to home, we want to see how you're repping Heritage while you're away!

Here’s how to participate:

1. Wear your favorite HCS gear during Spring Break

2. Take a photo wherever break takes you

3. Post it on social media and tag HCS



Every post will be entered to win a Heritage blanket when we return from break! Deadline to enter is March 24. A winner will be chosen on March 24th. Let’s see how far HCS travels this Spring Break!

Thanks!

Grandparents Day - Friday, April 24

An invitation was sent to all grandparents either by email or regular mail this week with information about Grandparents Day coming up on Friday, April 24. If your student has grandparents that did not get an invitation, feel free to share this invite with them.

Due to the increased number of students and limited space, we have made some changes to Grandparents Day this year. We will be having two sections.

• Section 1 is from 8:15-10:30, for students with last names A-K. (Arrival is from 8:00-8:15)
• Section 2 is from 12:00-2:15, for students with last names L-Z. (Arrival is from 11:45-12:00)
• Your child will only come during their assigned section.
• Students are welcome to come even if they do not have a grandparent attending. Another family member or special friend may attend with them as well.

We hope many grandparents are able to join us this year!

Middle School Drama Production

Our Middle School Drama students are excited to present this year’s mystery play, Murder on the 518 by Michelle Giles. Performances will take place on Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27 at 6:30 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM). Come support our talented middle school performers and enjoy an evening of mystery and fun as they showcase all their hard work.

Seating is limited and will be bleacher-style. If you require wheelchair accessible seating, please contact Brenda Wichhart or Tresa Munson in advance. There will be a short intermission during the performance, and concessions will be available for purchase.

Tickets are on sale now: $8 for adults and $5 for students (18 and under). Reserve your seats today at: Middle School Drama Tickets

We hope to see you there!
