News and Updates from HCS |

Thank you for a successful 2nd week of school! As everyone gets into a routine (I can hear some of you laughing at that!) I can see the students knowing where to go and what to do from class to class. On Thursday morning I did notice many of them were coming into school just a bit slower! I typically joke with the students when there is a holiday and tell them that since they have been working so hard that they can have a “day off.” A long weekend can sometimes be a time to catch up on house cleaning! Many hands make lighter work! That being said see the chart below for age-appropriate chores for kids by age range plus a similar link along the same topic. |

Have a blessed 3-day weekend!

You're Invited!
Our 2nd grade teacher, Miss Early, will soon be getting married and becoming Mrs. McDonald! She loves her students (past, present, and future) and would love to invite ALL HERITAGE FAMILIES to an after I DO celebration at the school! Come celebrate the goodness of God, fellowship with each other, and a time of worship (note the 2:00-2:30 time of singing). She would love to see you there (and don’t forget your lawn chairs).

Before and After School Supervisors Needed
Help spread the word among your friends, in the neighborhood, at your churches, and at work. If you know someone who loves working with kids and is looking for a part time job, send them our way. We're looking for additional Before and After School Supervisors from 7-8am and/or 3:30 to 5:30pm each school day. This is a great opportunity for a college student to pick up some part time work (hourly rate is $13.00). Feel free to print out this flyer to share or post. If you or someone you know is interested, contact Natalie Knapp (knappn@hcs-nl.com).
*Because we do not have enough staff, we will not be accepting anymore Before and After School enrollments at this time.

Missions - Miss Mysnyk & Anani
Many of you may recognize these two faces, but for those of you that don’t… Miss Mysnyk is a former Heritage student and teacher, and she is currently serving as a global worker. Anani is the sweet boy from Togo that we sponsor as a school through Compassion International. We encourage you to be praying for them, as we continue to pray for them at school with your children. Students will be given a card and map in Friday folders today to remind them to pray. Students are welcome to contribute towards Anani’s sponsorship (through Compassion International) through giving money in their classrooms or the office. Thank you!
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
Please pray for:
· Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)
· Boldness (to share Jesus authentically and powerfully)
· Peace (people of peace to help share the Good News)
· Assurance (that God is with them and is for them)
