This week's activities at Herington Schools.
In preparation for prom, HHS prom attendees had the opportunity to learn a few basic dances. Participants learned the two-step, swing dance, and several popular line dances. This is the second year this has been offered and we love it -- have a blast at the Golden Gala! #RailerProud
Railer Families: If you have a child that will turn three before August 31st, 2026 and you are interested in the Little Railers Preschool Program at Herington Elementary School, please pick up a preschool application from the HES office and get that completed and submitted to HES as soon as possilble. We will work on sending out our "acceptance" and "wait list" letters sometime in the next few weeks. A completed preschool application is required for consideration of entry into Little Railers Preschool. Please call the HES office at 785-258-3234 if you have any questions.
Another installment to the Railer Review!
HHS Prom is Friday -- please note the times and reach out to the school if you have any questions.
