Herington Middle School Student Council attended the 1st annual KSHSAA Middle School STUCO Conference at Derby North Middle School. STUCO members had the opportunity to work with other middle school students from around the state of Kansas. They brought back many new ideas to continue building a positive culture at HMS.
Reminder that the Spirit Parade/Watermelon Feed and White Wash has been cancelled for Thursday.
Congratulations to HHS students that started the CEO program this morning. Ashley Mascareno and Aiden Souza will be attending the program during the 2023-24 school year.
Attendance Matters!
Schedules for Fall Events are located on our Website at heringtonschools.org There is a way to print the google calendar each month. We also have an app herington487 Both of these methods are a good way to keep up on activities happening at Herington Schools.
Good Luck Lady Railers at Council Grove today!
All freshman attended an information session this morning on developing their electronic portfolio, that they will work on during business essentials and advisory classes this year as well as throughout their high school experience. This electronic portfolio enhances the work they began as 8th graders on the Xello platform and is a part of their Individual Plan of Study (IPS). Students will add volunteer and work experience, resumes, and other college and career-related interests and information to their electronic career portfolio.

Today Mr. Hirsch announced the fall drama production! He put 10 play/musical posters outside his room and at the end of every class period he would take one down until the show he picked was the last one left. So the show is…. “You Can’t Take It With You!” This year the HHS drama club will be doing a play; and a hilarious one at that!
The show takes place in the 1930’s. It follows a young, newly engaged woman who has a loving family. But the family may be a bit… eccentric! The family members all have very fun hobbies: dancing, candy making, play writing, painting, printing, and even making fireworks in the basement of their house! Follow the Sycamore family in this hilarious comedy of errors.
Performance dates will be November 10th & 11th @ 7 pm and November 12th @ 2 pm.
Audition dates will be announced next week!
Go Railers!!

Yesterday, the HHS Stuco met to plan for this year!
