 Once again we're collecting Boxtops for Education this year at Heritage. Please turn in all box tops you've collected over the summer and throughout September and October by Monday, October 31! Each month the classes have a little competition for collecting box tops. The winner receives a small prize. At the end of the year, the winning class gets a bigger prize (ice cream party!) In the past few years we've collected anywhere from $1700-$2300 through this program so it's an easy way to earn money for our school. If you have questions regarding the program, feel free to contact Deb Horning, our boxtop coordinator. |

7/8th Soccer Recap
If you've been around Heritage Christian School for any length of time you know the INCA-HCS rivalry is real. It may not be the Battle for the Boot or the Cy-Hawk Trophy but its every bit as intense at the middle school level as it is in upper divisions. The past three year record indicates just how close the soccer series is with Heritage holding a slim 4-1-3 series lead.
After losing back to back games to INCA (1-2 and 0-2) over the past two games to fall to 3-0-2 the Eagles needed a win or a tie to preserve their 4th consecutive winning season.
Playing inspired, scrappy defense led by Cael Austin, Ethan Bailey and Mason Slaymaker on the back line; tremendous midfield support by Spencer Hollman; and outstanding goal keeping by Trey Montgomery (12 saves) the Eagles frustrated and thwarted every INCA attack.
Offensively the Eagles had chances created by Adu Habte, Sam Young, Eli Young and Hunter Schau but ultimately couldn't get anything past an equally tough Patriot back line.
The Eagles end their season 3-1-2 and we thank our departing 8th graders for their leadership over the past several seasons. Our 8
th
graders this season were Cael Austin, Ethan Bailey, Spencer Holman, Christopher Nair, Gianna Rocca, Mason Slaymaker, and Eli Young. Thank you parents, students, alumni and fans for making your way across eastern Iowa to support this great group of young men and women. We're excited for next year and await #WhatsNext
5/6th Volleyball Recap
The 5th/6th volleyball team played Lutheran Interparish on Thursday and were challenged to overcome quite a few obstacles throughout the match. With the start of the first game came the realization that they were playing with a heavier ball, deeper serving line and higher net! The girls persevered despite the physical and mental challenges that accompanied these surprises and learned to adjust the way they played to accommodate these changes. They lost the first game to LIS, but showed much improvement in the second game which allowed them to maintain a lead throughout most of that game. An unfortunate injury during the second game contributed to a loss of momentum, and the Eagles ended up losing the second game to LIS as well. However, success is not determined by wins and losses, and the Eagles learned some valuable lessons in tonight's game, making it a success. They saw firsthand that when we allow discouragement to overtake our minds, our playing ability goes down too! The Eagles fought through this discouraging mind game, and due to great serving from all the players, they were able to win the third game!
