Mr. Lingenfelser's 6th grade class learning about types of government systems using gummy bears!
HES families are invited to join us for a “Doughnuts with Grown-Ups” event! We are inviting any family members, guardians, or other grown-ups to join their student for breakfast. This will occur from 7:30-8:00 in the HES café and gym on Friday, February 3rd. The HES PTO and staff will be providing doughnuts and juice for any grown-ups and their student that attend this event. Students that are not accompanied by a grown-up will not receive a doughnut or juice associated with this event. HES will be serving regular school breakfast that date (also planning to serve doughnuts) so students not accompanied by a grown-up can purchase a regular breakfast. All students will have the opportunity to eat regular school breakfast that day. Families may bring their own breakfast, also. PTO does need to place the doughnut/juice order prior to this event. Please return the bottom portion of the note that was sent home with the students identifying how many grown-ups will be attending this event so we can get an accurate doughnut order placed. We are requesting that this information is returned to us by Friday, January 20th. Please call the office at 785-258-3234 with any questions.
