Mrs. Brunner’s fourth grade students were able to Zoom with Doug Peltz, co-creator of Mystery Science (aka Mystery Doug from our HES science curriculum) this afternoon. The students had a blast! He showed us some giant pinecones from huge trees in California and did an experiment with what he calls "anti-helium", or SF6/sulfur hexafloride. #breakingout

On Monday, Mrs. Kroupa's third to fifth grade remote students learned about baby animals during a Mystery Doug lesson in science, and Tuesday presented a teachable moment related to the lesson! The students were introduced to a da- old baby calf born on the Kroupa family ranch. The calf had been taken into Mrs. Kroupa's basement for a warm-up and needed some extra attention due to the extreme cold. The students enjoyed the surprise and asked many questions about farm animals and care for animals during extreme weather. They fittingly named the calf COBWEB (because cobwebs are found in basements). Welcome to HES, Cobweb! #breakingout

Seniors, sorry for the late notice. I received a scholarship opportunity today from the Flint Hills RECA. The due date is February 19th. Please see your school email for the information.
Herington schools will have a remote learning day tomorrow, Tuesday February 16th.
During this cold remote day the seniors still had a college visit presentations with ESU. The best part of it is that Admissions Counselor, Katie Martin is a 2015 graduate of HHS!!
Tonight's HHS basketball games at Lebo have been canceled due to the abnormally cold weather and less than perfect road conditions.
