Do not miss the Fall One Act play tonight at 7:00 pm in the SLC.  Admission is free, but a canned item for the local food pantry will be appreciated.  The show is an amazing, scary ghost story (not recommended for children under 12) and lasts only 35 minutes. 

There will be a Thanksgiving Q Sale on Tuesday, November 22.  Delicious barbeque and sweets will help with your Thanksgiving and game weekend needs, while supporting the Heritage football teams and cheerleading programs.  Order by November 18.

To place an order for individual student pictures, please use this order form.

Ms. Connie Avery's 2010-2011 third grade class was the first class to achieve an impressive 100% parent participation rate in the Heritage Fund drive.  That group of students, now fourth graders, were treated to a pizza party last Friday.  Karen Mansour decorated a special table for them during their lunch period.  They were served pizza and drinks. The children were given an array of candy and other treats to take home. Thank you parents and students of Ms. Avery's class for your hard work and dedication to the 2010-2011 Heritage Fund drive.  Good job!

A great big Thank You to all who responded to our plea on Wednesday regarding the Georgia Goal Scholarship Program.  An additional $15,000 was collected, with more promised for the next few days.  We were able to fax the paperwork to Atlanta, and we have high hopes that the donations will be included in the 2011 tax year.  If the Department of Revenue rejects any paperwork due to the $50 million cap being reached, the donations will be returned. 
 

Situations like this remind us that it is our families, and the generosity of our donors, that have made Heritage the truly exceptional school that it is today.

8:30 am begins visits for the grandparents of Upper School students.  Those grandparents are invited to tour our Upper School and see their grandchildren at work.

At 9:00 am, grandparents of children in grades 1 - 6 are invited to the SLC for a program of patriotic music, followed by scheduled classrooms visits.

Students in grades 5 - 8 are asked to meet their grandparents in the SLC at 10 am and take them to their classrooms.

Coffee will be served in all three venues.

Parents:  Please note that this is a regular half day of school.  Please do send your children to school even if their grandparents are unable to attend.  They have all worked hard on the music part of the program and activities are planned for them, as a class, throughout the morning. 

We look forward to welcoming our grandparents to campus! 

The Heritage skeleton has been back and forth between art rooms as spooky inspiration for Upper and Lower School works of art.  

Third grade students have spent weeks preparing their cut-paper art for the Dancing Skeleton Contest. The three winners were announced on Halloween. They are:
G. Richards (Most Detailed)
C. Prater (Best Dancer)
W. Burkhart (Most Accurate)
 

The Skeleton exhibition will hang in the Lower School Art Room through Wednesday, November 9. Please stop by to see it!

Heritage students added their letters to the troops as part of a project sponsored by The Bert Show on radio station Q100 in Atlanta.  The expressed purpose of the program was "to collect 400,000 thank you letters so that every single troop overseas can receive a letter on Thanksgiving day thanking them for their service." The Show announced that they met and exceeded the goal by collecting 405,925 letters.  It was a good opportunity for our students in grades 1 - 12 to take the time to reflect on the service of the women and men of the military as well as practice letter writing skills.
