On Friday, Herington Elementary got spooky with a costume parade followed by the monthly school assembly. Lots of awesome costumes were displayed and many parents were in attendance! We also celebrated monthly birthdays, recognized students doing good deeds with shout outs, and awarded class awards for good behavior in the lunchroom, gym, music, and library. We wrapped up the celebration by singing our school song. Lots of great Railer Pride displayed on Halloween!

HHS at Sterling tonight at 7:00. Good luck Railers!
