Dear Heritage Families,
What an exciting week it has been at Heritage! We have spent the week celebrating the many accomplishments and memories made throughout this school year, and the fun will continue into next week.
On Friday, we had the opportunity to welcome back our graduating seniors as they walked the halls of Heritage in celebration of their achievements. It was a special moment for both our former and current students.
Our students also ended the week with Fun Day festivities. A big thank you to Mr. Phillips for organizing such a memorable experience for all of our Heritage students. We also appreciate our PTO for sponsoring the bounce house for one of the activity stations, as well as all of the volunteers who helped make the day possible. Additionally, our 5th grade students demonstrated outstanding leadership by helping lead stations for our younger students throughout the event.
We are looking forward to another exciting week ahead, including our Foam Party on Wednesday, Yearbook Signing on Thursday, and our End of Year Celebration featuring Omaha Street Percussion on Friday.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope everyone enjoys these final celebrations of the school year!
ONE TEAM, SAME COMMITMENT
Take care,
Ms. Woodrich
Heritage Principal

- Friday, May 22nd- Last Day of School and Early Release at 11:40
On the last day of school, we will celebrate our students with a special end-of-year clap out. The celebration will begin with our 5th grade students so they have the opportunity to walk the halls one final time before heading off to middle school. As classes exit the building, students will be celebrated with music and confetti cannons to help mark the end of a successful school year.
