Herrin CUSD 4 Press Release - 12.18.2025
Day One of our HES Winter Parent Engagement was a BLAST!

🎄 2nd Grade Christmas Tree Farm:
The 2nd grade hallway was packed with little lumberjacks as students proudly tried to sell their handmade Christmas trees to family members. Safe to say, they sold out quick — the lot’s officially empty!

🎩 4th Grade Wax Museum:
Meanwhile, our 4th graders transformed into well-known historical and modern figures. With the press of a “button,” these wax figures came to life, sharing all about their lives and accomplishments.

A huge thank you to our families for supporting our students on these special learning days. We couldn't do it without you!
