HYPE is an auditioned children's choir for upcoming grades 3-6 Heritage boys and girls.  Students in HYPE will perform at various concerts and venues next school year.  Auditions were held last week.  Congratulations to the 2011-2012 HYPE Members! 

Take a few minutes to browse through the amazing AP 2D Design and Photography slideshow.  AP 2D Design is an advanced placement class including illustration, drawing, painting, printmaking, graphic design, film photography and digital photography.  The AP Photography class includes both digital and film photography.  Fourteen students in grades ten through twelve were hand-selected by the art department to participate in these AP art classes this year, and all fourteen are represented in this beautiful slideshow.  Enjoy!

I would like to thank all the students and parents who bought candy to support my daughter, Laura Lee Chapman, in her endeavor to participate in the Susan G. Komen  three-day Walk for the Cure.   My daughter and I also want to thank those who donated online to the cause.  To participate in this program is a big commitment, not only with money, but also with a participant's  time.  I cannot imagine walking 60 miles in three days and I am amazed that my daughter has committed to this event.  I am so proud of her and I am willing to do everything that I can to help her follow through.  Thanks to all of you, I now feel confident that she will be able to accomplish her goal.  Many thanks.

The purpose of the Parents' Club is to support and promote the social and academic programs of The Heritage School, to act as a liaison between the administration and the parent body, and to utilize the services of parents for the benefit of the School. In addition, the Parents' Club partners with the School administration, helping to fulfill current needs, and helping to purchase much needed items outside of the School's annual budget.

Please support the Parents' Club by becoming involved in our events and programs. The more volunteers we have, the more we can accomplish. 

Parents' Club meetings are open to all parents, grandparents or family members and are held the second Tuesday of each month.  Please join us when you can!  Learn more about the Parents' Club...

It's that time of year again - the end of the school year -and we still have items in the Lost and Found.

The Lost and Found is located inside the gym, under the stairway and to the left of the main entrance doors (across from the SLC).  Please stop by and check for your lost items! 

Remember to label your child's name in every item that goes to school so that if it does end up in the Lost and Found, you will be able to locate it.  The Parents' Club keeps the lost and found clean and organized; if they locate an item with a label, they will send an email to the parent.
