Here is our August Menu! :)

Today was the first day of school for grades 1-12! After an assembly this morning, HES students met their new teachers, caught up with their friends, and participated in a variety of different activities throughout the day. Our school's theme is "To Infinity and Beyond" this year. Students will strive to meet goals and teachers go to "infinity and beyond" for their students. We are excited for a new year!!

Last night HES families were able to meet the teachers and bring school supplies prior to the first day of school. PTO, 4H, and Miss Susan were also there. Ice cream was enjoyed by all students after visiting classrooms. We are ready for a great new year!

Please help us welcome the new staff at Herington Schools this year! You will also recognize a few faces that are taking on new roles. Today we feature HHS, and will continue with introductions this week. Thank you for choosing Herington and contributing to what makes us all #RailerProud

As we get ready for another exciting school year, we're looking forward to a great season of activities, competitions, performances, and school spirit! Throughout this week, I'll be sharing schedules for all of our fall activities so you can mark your calendars and join us in supporting our students.

Extracurricular activities are an important part of our school community. They help students develop leadership, teamwork, perseverance, and lifelong friendships while bringing our community together to celebrate their hard work and achievements.

We can't wait to see our students, families, and fans filling the stands, cheering from the sidelines, and supporting all of our programs. Here's to an outstanding year ahead—GO RAILERS!!
