Seniors in Ms. Clark's English class have the opportunity to experience Shakespeare in a whole new way this year -- with a graphic novel. Students will also read parts of Hamlet in the "old-timey English," as they say, but it is much more exciting in comic form. (And yes, for traditionalist, the graphic novel does follow the play!)
HHS Basketball at home tonight vs Mission Valley. Good luck Railers!
Fall Picture Re-takes have been rescheduled for Monday December 8th.

H.E.S. kindergarteners had a short program for their parents today. They sang some songs and enjoyed pie with their families. Happy Thanksgiving!!
More turkey fun! Third graders worked in teams to design and build Turkey Traps. Teams explained how their traps worked to catch the elusive Thanksgiving turkeys!
Mrs. Schwarz's fifth graders had a little pre-Thanksgiving fun and problem solving! Students worked in groups to plan and build towers made out of cranberries and toothpicks. The challenge was to see which group could build the tallest one, and they put a lot of thought into the process:)
