Our student organizations, staff, and families enjoyed participating and watching the parade!
We had our annual student-led, bilingual Patriot Day Ceremony where we honored First Responders and remembered those that lost their lives on 9/11/2001. Students said pledges, sang a song of gratitude, had a moment of silence, and shared a few words.
These two were rewarded for completing the Summer Reading Challenge. It pays to READ, congratulations!
Students celebrate their grandparents with a parade in their honor.
This week’s Cardinal Spotlight for Heritage Elementary is Anthiness Valderas-Hopper. Anthiness has many qualities that make him stand out as a 5th grade student. Anthiness is a wonderful role model for our younger students, consistently demonstrating kindness, respect, and responsibility. Every morning without fail, he greets staff members with a warm and friendly “Good morning,” setting a positive tone for the day. His strong work ethic shows in everything he does, and he always gives his best effort. Anthiness is a joy to work with, bringing energy and positivity to those around him. His thoughtfulness, leadership, and willingness to help others make him an invaluable part of our school community. Anthiness, congratulations on being our Cardinal of the Week!
We are excited to welcome Melissa Valdez to our Heritage Campus as part of the 2nd grade team! She brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience, ready to inspire and guide her students to success. With her passion for teaching and commitment to excellence, she is sure to make a positive impact on both her students and our school community. We are thrilled to have her join our team and can’t wait to see the incredible things she will accomplish!
