The middle school staff members chose 7th grader, Isabelle Ecklund, as the January Student of the Month. Isabelle participates in Band, Volleyball, Basketball, Swim Team, Softball, and is the Vice-President of Student Council. Isabelle thinks that she was awarded student of the month because she is a hard working student who turns in her assignments on time, even though she is busy with sports and does well on her assignments. She also believes she is respectful to her peers and teachers, listens to classroom instructions and participates when asked. Isabelle is the daughter of Randy Ecklund and Ashley Ecklund.

Herington Elementary 3rd-5th Grade Remote Learners enjoyed the Kansas Day festivities! Today, a special guest helped out with celebrating Kansas Day! Mrs. Susan presented a Kansas Day read aloud, hosted Kansas Day trivia, and each student was provided with materials for a sunflower "craftivity". A huge thank you to the Herington Public Library and Mrs. Susan Mueller for providing this opportunity for our remote students. #breakingout

Good evening, Herington schools will continue to operate in the "yellow" for the upcoming week. This means that all students in grades Preschool through 12th can attend in person. Thank you for all your efforts to keep our kids attending in person and participating in activities!
