Hero Happenings!

1. This will be the last update until the week of January 8th. Students will return to school on January 4th and will report to advisory first thing to get new schedules.
2. To encourage our staff and students to have a device-free break, we will be asking students to leave their Chromebook with his/her advisor on December 18th. Please help us in making sure your student turns in his/her device to the advisor before you begin your holiday break.

Do you ever ask your child about his/her day and you get a shoulder shrug? or "it was fine"? If this is the case, use these questions to ask your child about school - let's get them talking!

Adv. ELA 7 -What is the main way Charles Dickens develops themes in A Christmas Carol?

History 6 - Why did the Ancient Greeks have the Olympics?

Science 7 -If a substance has a lower density will it go up or down?

Science 6 -What part of the earth gets the most direct sunlight?

Health 6 -What are some ways you can positively impact your body and mind?

Math 6 -Simplify the following expression by combining like terms: 4x + 5y - 2x + 3y + 8.

Band - Will you show me all of your stamps on your Band objective sheet for 2nd quarter?

The Herobotics Gold team recently qualified for the state championship! They are working on a project that aims to help people connect across cultures and need some help collecting some data from our community. If you have a moment, these students would greatly appreciate it if you could fill out this survey they have created. Thank you!

We are helping Hellstern provide a few holiday items to students at Hellstern. Please consider contributing a donation to go directly to Hellstern's Christmas Shop. Have a very merry holiday break!
