Our 8th-12th grade students enjoyed Interim last week. The eighth graders went to Washington DC. The Freshmen learned about marine biology at Skidaway Island. The Sophomores performed community service in and around the Newnan area. The Juniors visited multiple colleges. After completing many of their college applications, the Seniors had a time of reflection and relaxation on Cumberland Island. Take a look at our Interim slideshow!

The Heritage faculty is continually working on professional development. Frank Marchman is pictured here with Dawn Burnette, author of the Daily Grammar Practice program that we use from 1st grade through 12th grade. Heritage has used this program for about six years and implemented the latest update for the 2010-2011 school year. In August, Heritage had the wonderful opportunity for Dawn and her partner, Judith Holbrook, to conduct an inservice for all of the Lower School faculty and the English teachers of grades 5 - 12.
Next month, the Heritage faculty will attend the Georgia Independent School Association's Annual Conference in Atlanta. They will hear a keynote address by Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D, author of the groundbreaking book, Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative, a book that each of our teachers read this summer. Sir Ken urges schools to rethink how they develop creativity and educate students to meet the extraordinary challenges of living and working in the 21st century. |

The Heritage Fun Run was a huge success!
The Parents' Club was excited to host the Heritage Fun Run! Its members would like to thank the students, teachers, volunteers, family and friends for making the event a huge success. A special thank you to Mr. Jeffrey Amezqua, father of Niyah in the EC classroom, for photographing the Fun Run!
The Heritage School continues to promote physical fitness and encourage kids in motion. This run, while providing motivation to adhere to a healthy lifestyle and improve general fitness, also helps fund technology equipment for our school and gives 10% to each classroom teacher who participates.
The Parents' Club appreciates your support and is grateful to all of you for your generosity towards The Heritage School.
Collection envelopes were due on October 14. If you have not yet returned your envelope, please turn it in to your classroom teacher as soon as possible.

Heritage sports are fun for the whole family. The fall sports season is drawing to a close, and the weather is wonderful for enjoying the remaining football and cross country events!
Football Be sure to check the football web pages each week for game results. This week's schedule of games is as follows: - The Varsity plays Harvester in Douglasville at 7:00 tonight. Directions to the game are online.
- The Middle School (7-0) wrapped up an undefeated regular season with a 37-7 victory over Harvester Christian yesterday. This year, many metro area private schools formed a MS league with two divisions and will have a four-team playoff beginning Thursday. Heritage will be the #1 seed from the West and will host the #2 Eastern team (as yet undetermined) on Thursday at 6:00 pm. Loganville Christian is the #1 seed from the East. There will be a three-way tie in the Western Division for second place, so those teams (Flint River, Harvester, and Trinity Christian) will have a three-team tie breaker series on our campus Monday at 6:00 pm to determine who will play Loganville. Join us for the games on Monday and Thursday!
 Cross Country The JV girls' and boys' Cross Country teams ran very well at their "state-like" AA "Ender" meet this week. The girls' team won, led by sisters Ruthie and Zofia Powell, who finished first and fourth respectively. The boys' team came in second, led by Rich Yancey and Tripp Brown, who each finished in the top ten at third and ninth respectively. These top runners were all supported by their teammates for their teams' successes. Way to go, JV!
The Varsity team will host the Region 4AA meet tomorrow, October 16, at 10:00 am (boys' race) and 10:30 am (girls' race) here at Heritage. Don't miss this chance to see our runners in action, on a beautiful day, in the lovely pecan grove. Also, remember to donate your lightly used shoes in the Soles4Souls collection bin at the race or in the SLC. The shoes will go all over the world to people in need. Last day to donate your shoes - Monday, October 18. |
