Mrs. Beye’s MTSS finished reading the Training Camp book last week. In the book Coach Ken shares ideas for what the “Best do Better then the Rest.” This week we have been writing our own playbooks for success and today we enjoyed fish tacos just like Coach Ken did in the book.




Good Afternoon,
The U S D 487 COVID-19 team meeting took place last evening and it was determined that the district may continue to operate in the “green”. This means that preschool through 12th grade students will be able to attend in person for the next week. County level data indicates a need for continued safety practices, such as mask wearing, social distancing, and good handwashing practices. Thank you for your continued support as we educate the children of our community, while working to keep them safe.
Nice wins Lady Rails. Wins over MDCV 25-9, 25-15 and Waverly 25-21, 25-11. These two wins move Herington Lady Railers to 23-1 on the season. Great job girls!!
Second graders just finished a science unit about matter. They explored shaving cream and discussed that it can be a solid, liquid, or gas, participated in an Inter-distance Learning lesson from Greenbush Learning Center, tested the melting points and properties of certain candies, and played with Oobleck, a mixture of cornstarch and water, which can be a solid and a liquid. Lots of great learning opportunities!! #breakingout




Lady Railers will be at Melvern tonight playing at 5 and 6. We will try to be live on the school YouTube channel.
