Herington Volleyball Tournament today! Good Luck Lady Railers!
Herington Middle School Students attended the Fly Kansas field day at the Herington Airport. Students learned in science class flight dynamics, were able to talk with area pilots who shared their knowledge and experiences about flying and airplanes. A good time was had by all!!!
Herington 8th Grade Students participated in a financial literacy simulation called Reality U. Students learned important financial concepts such as buying a car, buying a house, insurance concepts, retirement and savings accounts along with other monthly expenses.
Join us for the Herington Railers Homecoming Ceremony starting at 6:30 PM, followed by the big game at 7:00 PM! Let’s pack the stands and show our Railer pride!

Parents of students in the Class of 2026, here is a link that will help you and your student complete the FAFSA application. https://studentaid.gov/articles/fafsa-for-parents/ In the lower right hand corner of the FAFSA website, you will see a help box. I have used it and it works really well with getting answers if you type in a question that you may have.
HHS Girls Golf competed in Council Grove today and brought home some hardware. Congratulations to Seniors Isabelle Ecklund (10th), Raquel Lawrenz (11th), and Cheyenne Purkeypyle (13th). You make us #RailerProud!

Good Luck HMS @ Home today!
The weather didn't cooperate very well for today's Lunch on the Lawn for the elementary, so we had lunch inside instead. Families were still able to eat with their student(s) whether it be in the cafeteria, gym, or hallway.
Second grade has been studying solids and liquids in science. So they made oobleck (cornstarch and water) that is both a solid AND a liquid! Principal Mr. Andres had never experienced this and had fun learning and experimenting with the students too!
Mrs. Korgol's Earth/Space Science class participated in the Plant a Prairie project that is sponsored by the Kansas Native Plant Society. They first answered questions about the area that they were planning on planting their prairie and then they were given 8 different types of plants (4 of each) that would grow the best in the area. When they received their plants, they had to research how tall each plant could grow and how far away it needed to be placed from other plants. Then they planned for the placement of each plant. Finally, they took the plants outside and planted them. The students that participated were John Thayer, Angel Lopez, Aimyn Hamilton, and James Feniello.
Good luck Lady Railers at your home matches tonight.
