Reminder

No school Friday or Monday! Enjoy the long weekend!

Muffins with Moms - Friday, Feb 27

Muffins with Moms is February 27 from 7:30-8:10am. This is an opportunity for students to bring their mom or a special guest to join with others for muffins and juice in the gym before school that morning. Siblings are also welcome to come along. A reminder that children should remain with their parent/special guest during this event. There will also be a photographer there that morning and you’re encouraged to get your picture taken with your child, and H.A.N.D.S. will print the pictures and send them home in your child’s Friday folder the next week.

There are a few opportunities to sign up to help, check out the signup genius below and see how you can help!

Continuous Enrollment

A reminder that if you are planning to withdraw your son or daughter from Heritage at the end of the school year and not return next year, you must notify Mr. Goodbar and Mrs. Wichhart, in writing, by March 1st. Knowing this information helps us make decisions and plan for next year. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's enrollment, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Substitute Teachers Needed

We are looking to add some additional folks to our substitute teacher list. Substitute teaching is a great way to formally work with great kids in a great environment while enjoying the benefit of some flexibility. At Heritage Christian School, substitute teachers earn $17.28 per hour. If you would like more information, contact the school office.

H.A.N.D.S. Dine-Out Night - Tuesday, February 17th

Join us for our next Dine-Out on Tuesday, February 17th at Jersey Mikes in North Liberty from 4:00-9:00pm.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SAY YOU ARE FROM HERITAGE. A percentage of the sales goes back to Heritage H.A.N.D.S. for their awesome work of building community at the school! Hope to see you there!

Our Heritage Gala (Educating for Eternity) fundraiser will be here before you know it! Mark your calendars, purchase your tickets, and invite your friends!

We're looking for additional SPONSORS and SILENT AND LIVE AUCTION DONATIONS for the event. If you or someone you know might be interested in either, feel free to reach out to Brenda Wichhart or check out and pass along the links below.

Basketball Concession Workers Needed

If you are a basketball or cheerleading parent, love the game of basketball, or just want to serve at Heritage, we are looking for volunteers to work concessions at our basketball games this winter. All the jobs are easy to learn and any training needed before the game can be provided. High school students can also volunteer for silver cord hours. If you also have a responsible 4th-8th grade child that you think would be helpful, you can sign them up to work a shift with you as well. To sign-up, please use the sign-up genius link below.

Pray for the Nations

Please continue to pray for global workers Michael and Mary Pretorious and for our Compassion International sponsored child, Kossigan, from Togo. Students are welcome to contribute towards Kossigan’s sponsorship (through Compassion International) by giving money in their classrooms or the office. Thank you!

Please pray for:

·        Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)

·        Boldness (to share Jesus authentically and powerfully)

·        Peace (people of peace to help share the Good News)

·        Assurance (that God is with them and is for them)
