On Tuesday, April 16th H.E.S. Principals Bobbi Heuring, Dr. Bryant Hale, and Kaci Lukens attended the Illinois Principals' Association to honor two exemplary 5th-grade students: Abigail Monchino & Karli Wilson! These students were celebrated not only for their academic achievements but also for their character and leadership qualities. Such recognition helps instill a sense of pride and motivation in the students and encourages them to continue excelling in both their studies and personal development. It's also a testament to the dedication and support educators and families provide. CONGRATULATIONS!!


Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week! Join in the celebration by wearing your spirit apparel.
