Last year, HES earned $1,069.80 and we are collecting the money for an outdoor playground foam mat. Previous earnings went to a replacement slide on the playground. Our goal this year is to collect 10,000 Box Tops. The students and staff have been working together to see which grade level can collect the most Box Tops. The grade level that turns in the most Box Tops by Thursday, April 13, 2017 will receive a classroom party. Submission requirements:

Grade levels totals as of November 11, 2016 Kindergarten: 961 Box Tops 1st grade: 424 Box Tops 2nd grade: 903 Box Tops 3rd grade: 1,073 Box Tops 4th grade: 1,099 Misc: 159 Total: 4,619 The Animal Science Class has started a new project, hatching eggs. Thanks to Mr. Paul Gaskell and Sarah Gaskell, 41 new eggs are being incubated in the classroom starting November 8. The class is studying about the poultry industry. The eggs will take about 21 days to hatch. Each day the students will turn the eggs twice, the job of the mom hen. The temperature is set at 99.5 degrees with the relative humidity at 80%. The students also named each egg from Clucker to Bob. Once they have hatched, a brooder will be set up with to keep the chicks warm until they can manage a constant body temperature on their own. The future for the chickens that hatch are unknown at this time, last time we hatched Jonette Rice “received” most of them. We will see who gets “flocked” with chickens, not flamingos.
Sixth grade students and teachers are once again collecting Box Tops for Educations The money earned from this goes towards items needed for the 6th grade classrooms. We plan to use some of the money to help fund our manners dinner. Already this year we used Box Top funds to buy water for our field trip and for each student to have their own Scholastic book about the election process. Please save your Box Tops for Education and send them to the middle school for our sixth grade classrooms. Thanks!
