The middle school staff members chose 8th grader, Cheyenne Purkeypyle as the April Student of the Month. Cheyenne participates in volleyball, track, the basketball team manager, student council, softball, and band. Cheyenne believes she was chosen as the student of the month because she is responsible, respectful, and safe. She also believes that she works hard in school and gets good grades. Cheyenne is the daughter of Jeremy and Kimberly Purkeypyle.
Teacher Appreciation week is May 2-6th this year. The job of a teacher can be exhausting and difficult at times. These past few years have tested the mettle of many of our educators at all levels. Students need the care, concern, and support of their teachers now more than ever. The staff of USD 487 have tackled the seemingly insurmountable. They've pressed forward with initiatives, and kept learning happening, while shifting their focus to supporting student mental health needs. They give their time (much of it outside of the classroom), their effort, and their whole hearts to doing everything they can to make a student's school experience successful. Thank you isn't enough to say, but it's a start. To the teachers of USD 487--we love and appreciate you!!!
Parents and patrons, we need your input!!! Herington schools are getting ready to prioritize spending of Federal funds (ESSER) and we want to hear from you. Please use the enclosed link to complete a short survey that will help us gather your thoughts. https://forms.gle/82WTzzXDRQFG8dLs9
Happy teacher appreciation week to the outstanding group of educators we have at HES! A huge thank you to the HES Site Council, HES PTO, local businesses, and USD487 administrative team for putting together a couple of "#backontrack treat trains" for the staff to choose a little treat from. We would love for the treat trains to visit our staff members again this week so anyone is welcome to drop off any items to the HES office ($5-$10 gift cards to local businesses, candles, food/drink items, etc.). Thank you to a hardworking, passionate, and dedicated staff at HES - we appreciate you all very much!!!
Little Railers Preschool created May Day Baskets to share with the support personnel at USD 487. Preschoolers gave the baskets to our cafeteria workers, bus and van drivers, iServe custodial staff, school secretaries, and BOE staff. We could not run our school without these critical staff members and we are so appreciative of everything they do for students. Happy May Day! #backontrack
Friday middle school students and staff received school shirts, which were funded by the MS cookie dough sales! These bright shirts were designed by the 8th grade STUCO members!
