Heilicher "In a Word"

Earlier this week Heilicher hosted a parent town hall where we premiered a short video featuring students describing Heilicher, themselves, and more — in just a word.

The video is a great snapshot of the Heilicher experience. Watch the video here!

Kicks for Kids Fundraiser

Heilicher Kicks for Kids is a fun opportunity for your grandchildren to raise money to “sponsor” them in our all-school* kickball tournament, while building community and supporting the school we love! The tournament will be held on Sunday, May 1, on the soccer field. We will have a lot to celebrate, as this will be our first time together as a whole-school community since March 2020!

Dollars raised will be used to support scholarships and programming for our Heilicher community. Our goal is to raise $38,000 in honor of Heilicher’s 38th year, and we are nearing $18,000 with our Kicks for Kids fundraiser! Ask your grandchild how you can sponsor them. Thank you for your support of Heilicher, and let's keep raising funds!

*K-7 students are participating in the fundraiser — eighth-grade students will be in Washington, DC, on their class trip during the tournament.
