The Heritage Herald

Happy Holidays, everyone! The weather is getting colder and colder, it's time to break out the winter clothes! While middle schoolers seem to not get quite as cold as the rest of us, please make sure your children are wearing jackets/coats to school each day.

Feel free to call us with any questions you might have.

Stay safe and warm!
