Middle School Language Arts Teacher Morgan Stair shares his thoughts on students' resilience during this unique time.
"I hope we can return to normal as soon as possible. But, if there is a silver lining, it is knowing that our students are resilient, adaptable, and just great kids. They can handle whatever the world throws their way."

Give to the Max Day is TODAY!
Give to the Max Day is TODAY! Heilicher may qualify for incentives for any donations made through the GiveMN website through the rest of the day.
REMINDER! Community supporters Mort and Merle Kane have offered a 1:1 match, up to $10,000, on all online donations made by the end of day today. Donations made on the Heilicher website or the GiveMN site both count toward this generous match.
The Annual Fund is a critical piece of keeping Heilicher strong and vibrant. The dollars raised help make up the difference between tuition and the full cost of a Heilicher education, and support programs and initiatives throughout the school. We have already raised just over $400,000, and look forward to continued success! Any questions, or would you like to discuss your gift confidentially? Please contact Institutional Advancement Director, Beckie Skelton. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!

We look forward to debuting a special, grandparent-focused video showcasing daily life at Heilicher during this unusual year, and offering a special blessing to our beloved grandparents.
We have sent an email directly to all grandparents who are on our email list. However, please feel free to share this information with them, as well. If you'd like to add grandparents to our mail/email lists, so they can hear about these special programs in the future, please email their contact information to Beckie Skelton.
