Veterans’ Day: November 11 No School:
Thank you to all of our families that have either had or currently have members serving in our military. We appreciate your commitment and service to our country. We have displayed an American flag bulletin board to help celebrate this very special day here at HES. Students and staff would like to show them that we are grateful for their service. Please send in a photo and/or name of the special veteran in your family to be displayed on the bulletin board throughout the month of November. Please submit your photos to your child's teacher who will then hand them over to the art teacher who will be displaying them. Please remember to include your child's name on the back of the photo. Please send an email to eweisz@wcpss.net if you have any questions. Thank you!
