Sarah Biehler and Carrie Roe were chosen by the Kansas Board of Regents as Kansas State Scholars! To be eligible, the students have to complete the Regents Curriculum which includes a year of advanced math, physics, and two years of foreign language. The final selection is based on their ACT score and G.P.A. Over 6000 Kansas students were eligible, but only the top 1/3 were selected as a Scholar. Congratulations Ladies!!
HES was unable to host a traditional Field Day this year, but Mr. Kehres organized events during PE class so students could participate in the activities. Today we are sharing the fourth and fifth grade events.

Tyler is the daughter of Leann and Andy Urbanek.
Tyler thinks she was chosen for student of the month because “she works hard in class and is always polite.”
Tyler is a Freshman who involves herself in Volleyball, Basketball, Track, Dance Team, and HOSA.
When asked why Tyler received student of the month, Mr. Hirsch said, “her professionalism in and out of the classroom is something that I really admire about her. She puts full effort into everything she does.”
Congratulations Tyler!
There will be a short girls basketball meeting for summer basketball tomorrow after school.
Congratulations to the HES Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary coloring contest winners - Declan and Ava! #breakingout
