We are quite excited to have added six bright red tricycles to our equipment for the Early Learning Center. They will be used by the classroom teachers, PE program, and Extended Day to provide our children with an outdoor riding play option, and for gross motor development, so crucial in the development of a young child.
Ms. Garth's third graders visited Ms. Gina's lab this week. They used the microscopes to view spiders they had caught on campus, and got an up close view of the body parts they had studied when they learned the differences between arachnids and insects.

| | There is a new Virtual Tour on the Heritage Website! The tour is actually a film produced by talented Heritage students in last year's video class. It was not meant to be a Heritage tour, but it is such a fun look at so much of the campus, we could not resist adding to the website as a Virtual Tour. Be sure to take a look - and listen (turn on your volume)! |

Order now for the discounted price of $40. After November 1, the price will be $60. It is also time to start thinking about senior ad orders. |

Our Campus Store is now open every Tuesday from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. This will give parents a chance to shop before carpool and students a chance to browse after school.
The rest of the week, students may fill out an order form at the front desk at any time. Orders will be fulfilled and delivered three times daily: 8:30 am, noon, and 4:00 pm. Students needing a PE uniform should be aware of the delivery times and be sure to fill out an order form accordingly.
Many thanks to parent volunteer, Jennifer Underwood (Tricia, grade 4, and Lee, grade 2), for staffing the store on Tuesdays. |

At the Heritage School, we are very proud of our faculty members, but we are not the only ones who think highly of them! Our teachers frequently get recognition off campus.
 Doug Keys, our Instrumental Music teacher, was asked by Dr. Lyn Schenbeck, the strings director for the Coweta County schools, to speak to her orchestral strings/guitar class about his time in the music business. He took his AP Music students with him this week when he spoke to her class at the CEC.  David Boyd, Jr., Middle and Upper School Art teacher (and Heritage alumnus), has a painting featured in the Oil Painters of America (OPA) show to be held in Walls Fine Art Gallery in Wilmington, NC, from October 17 to November 17. His piece is called Galveston Caddy. OPA is a top tier organization dedicated to preserving the realism in oil painting. It is quite an honor for David to be selected into the OPA group, and even more so to have a piece selected for the show. You can see a video preview of the 100 selections on the Walls Fine Arts Gallery website.
