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.

Parents of the Class of 2026. I will be working with the seniors tomorrow to have them set up their FAFSA username and ID. This is what they will need to fill to have to apply for Pell grants and Federal loans for college. Most colleges require FAFSA to be filled out as well before they will offer a scholarship package to an incoming student. FAFSA opens on October 1. I am putting this link out there so you can review what you will need to do as well. There are FAQs and short tutorial videos to help with the process. The FAFSA form you and your student will need to fill out is the 2026-27 form. It is not out yet, but will be soon. The tax information you will need is from your tax return for the 2024 year. https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out#creating-an-account

HES 3rd graders participated in a Constitution Day Event on Sept. 17. They joined over 17,000 other 3rd graders across Kansas and the U.S. in this event by the Kansas State Department of Education, Olathe USD 233, and the 10th Judicial District of Kansas.
Students learned about the U.S. Constitution, which was signed on Sept. 17, 1787. Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, Kansas Senator Jerry Moran, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch talked about the three branches of government. Students observed a live, mock trial and participated as jurors. At the conclusion of the trial, they had time to deliberate and then decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. HES students decided there wasn't enough evidence, so they gave the verdict of not guilty!

On Wednesday, September 10th the Middle School Student Council traveled to the Maize Performing Arts and Aquatic Center for a Student Council Workshop. Upon arrival students were given Kansas Stuco shirts and encouraged to join in some dancing. Students were divided into several small groups to exchange ideas for fundraising and school activities. There was a keynote speaker, Dustin Galyon, who is a very interactive storyteller that allows his audience to take ownership in every presentation. He inspires others to build better relationships. Several students volunteered and were chosen to participate in activities up on the stage. It was a full day of learning and fun was had by all.
