On Friday, Herington Elementary got spooky with a costume parade followed by the monthly school assembly. Lots of awesome costumes were displayed and many parents were in attendance! We also celebrated monthly birthdays, recognized students doing good deeds with shout outs, and awarded class awards for good behavior in the lunchroom, gym, music, and library. We wrapped up the celebration by singing our school song. Lots of great Railer Pride displayed on Halloween!

HHS at Sterling tonight at 7:00. Good luck Railers!

Congratulations to Koryn Alexander for being selected to Kansas FBLA Active Membership Advisory Council for the 2025-2026 school year!

Nice win Railers!! 66-24 over Bennington.

The fourth graders read a story called, “The Buffalo Are Back,” about the prairies in Kansas and how Native Americans burned them to keep them healthy. They then had a special guest who talked about what burning the prairies in the present looks. Nathan Brunner is owner of Fire For Hire, a prescribed burning company based out of Marion County. He shared pictures and videos of some of his recent burns. He also brought some equipment and demonstrated a live grass burn. You’ll also notice pictures of deer, buffalo, and elk sheds he’s found on land he’s burned. Thank you to Nathan for bringing prairie burning to life!

Reminder to buy your Railer Gear on our School Store. Below is the following link to customizing your Fan Gear!
