The HES October student of the month is Mia Espino, a 5th grade student in Mrs. Schneider's class. Some words that describe Mia are genuine, responsible, and caring. She is one of the hardest working students in our school. She tries her best on every task that she is given, and never fails to complete her work on time. Mia has already completed her AR goal for the 2nd nine weeks. She is a wonderful and trusting friend to all of her peers, and is the first one to help her classmates when asked. Mia is doing a great job and we look forward to the rest of the year! Congratulations, and keep up the good work! Mia is the daughter of Demetria Garcia and Juan Espino.

In Mrs. Brunner's 4th grade class, the students read the story, "The Buffalo Are Back," about the way Native Americans worked in Kansas to keep the prairie grasslands healthy. This included burning off the grass each year. Nathan Brunner, owner of prescribed burning company Fire 4 Hire, visited the class. He shared pictures and videos of past burns his company completed, including a recent 800 acre prescribed burn of Maxwell Wildlife Preserve. He also brought in some of his tools and fire gear. The class had a great time learning and comparing how the Native Americans took care of the grasslands to how we do the same thing today. #backontrack
