Feathers are 25¢ each and will be on sale through November 19th. The grade level with the most feathers WINS bragging rights and a fun surprise…
The winning grade level teachers will wear special turkey hats during our Thanksgiving lunch on November 20th! Let’s see which grade can collect the most feathers!
Some of our fabulous first graders, along with Ms. Proudfoot, Mrs. Kaley, and Mrs. Shealey, showed off their Halloween spirit in style today! From costumes to classroom fun, a spooktacular time was had by all!
The HCES staff had some festive fun today with the Pumpkin in Your Pocket game! The lucky winners were Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Romesberg, and Mrs. Cook — (hmm… how did three second grade teachers manage to win? )
It was such a fun way to spread a little extra sunshine and laughter around our school!
Happy Red Ribbon Week!
This week, our students celebrated Red Ribbon Week with the theme: “Life is a Puzzle—Solve It Drug Free!”
Each day, we talked about Beginning with the End in Mind and how every safe, healthy choice is a piece of the puzzle that builds a bright future.
A big thank you to Mr. Montana Teems with the Jasper Fire Department and Lana Mayfield and Kennedy Whipple with Northside Junior Health Advocates for your generous donations! You helped students make fun and meaningful connections like:
🔥 “Ignite your potential—stay drug free like our Fire Heroes!”
🩹 “Clean minds, clean hands, and healthy choices are like Band-Aids—they protect you!”
We also appreciate Jana Champion and Deputy Roach for speaking at our Red Ribbon Rally—reminding students that today’s choices shape tomorrow’s future. Thank you to everyone who helped our Hawks celebrate living drug-free!
Thank you for supporting our Fall Scholastic Book Fair! It's been fabulous!
The fair will close tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. Each grade level will have a final opportunity to shop the fair tomorrow. Here's the link to our Fair's Home Page if you would still like to set-up an e-Wallet or shop the online portion (any orders ship directly to your home) of the fair:

Red Ribbon Week is October 27th- 31st!
We will be practicing Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind during Red Ribbon Week. Our theme is Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free. We have been talking about the "end in mind" is their future, and the puzzle pieces of life are the choices we make every day. Life is a puzzle, and every piece counts. Drugs are a puzzle piece that just doesn't fit in the plan of a happy, healthy future. Making healthy, safe choices and solving the puzzle of life drug-free, helps us stay strong, focused, and build an exciting future one piece at a time.
Multiplicative Comparison is a way of comparing two quantities by determining how many times larger or smaller one is than the other, using multiplication or division. Today was filled with lots of laughter, math talk, and fun while playing the game Wacky Comparisons.
