Survey Input Needed!
Please take time to fill out the parent survey that was emailed from the office on Monday, the 25th. Your input is valuable and these surveys will provide essential data as we are in the process of pursuing re-accreditation with ACSI. The surveys are short and should only take 5-10 minutes of your time! If you have questions or need the survey re-sent, contact Brenda Wichhart at wichhartb@hc-nl.com.

Box Tops
From 9/25 through 10/1, supporters who invite friends to the Box Tops program will have a chance to earn 50 Bonus Box Tops for their child's school — and their friend could earn 50 Bonus Box tops, too! Plus, we've got another special offer in the works for all school supporters... and we think it's really going to add up. Can you guess what it is?
50 Bonus Box Tops = $5!
When they scan their first receipt during this week a second 50 Bonus Box Tops is earned. A total of $10! Plus, the 10 points per product listed on their receipt.
There is a full list of products in the app. Most participating products have the Box Tops logo on the product’s packaging.
Our goal this year is to reach $250 earned by June 30, 2024. These funds will be used to supply our amazing school with two new utility carts.
We are well on our way with $88.20 earned to date!!

Before and After School Care Reminders
Just a friendly reminder that because we are short staffed and some of our teachers are having to help cover, please be considerate and use the Before and After School Care Program only for true needs.
We're making progress on hiring supervisors for our after school care but would still love 1 or 2 more workers. Continue to spread the word and have them contact Natalie Knapp (knappn@hcs-nl.com) if interested.
We're offering a $100 referral bonus to anyone who helps us find and hire for the After School Program (if we hire your referral and they stay through the end of the year).
Because we do not have enough staff, we will not be accepting any more Before and After School enrollments at this time.

Game Recap
This past Monday, the Heritage Eagles played at Pathway. In the 5th/6th game, the girls had a challenging start facing several strong servers. As the game progressed they began moving and talking more. In the end they fell in two sets, 11-25 and 21-25. The 7th/8th grade game was an exciting one to watch! There were several long points, neither team giving up. In set one, the Eagles serves were off and found themselves in a hole, 3-11. The girls composed themselves, began serving better, and worked to dig themselves out of the whole, but ran out of points, falling 22-25. In the second set, the Eagles had the lead. A high caliber of play continued, but the Eagles couldn’t quite hang on and fell 25-27.
Volleyball Schedule
