Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) Testing

Next week Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, our students in 3rd-8th grade will be taking the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) tests. These are assessments developed by Iowa Testing Programs at the University of Iowa for the state of Iowa to provide a clear and accurate assessment of student learning outcomes. Student growth, proficiency and readiness indicators will be reported back to the school and we will share those results with you once we receive them.
Evening of Art Gallery Walk - Thursday, April 21

We’re extremely excited that Heritage will be hosting our first annual Evening of Art Gallery Walk on Thursday, April 21, 2022, from 6:30-8:00pm.

Throughout the year, our students (PreK through 8th) have taken a weekly Art Appreciation class to provide an outlet for them to express themselves visually and learn about how, as an image bearer of God, we too can create beautiful masterpieces for His glory. Each student has been able to refine their artistic gifts throughout the year and has had the opportunity to learn about famous artists, techniques, and some art history. Every student has created unique and beautiful pieces, and we want to celebrate their accomplishments and talents with YOU! We invite you to come to the school for an evening and take a walk through the gym gallery of art.

In addition, we’d love to highlight the artwork of some of our alumni who may have gone on to immerse themselves in their creative expression, or who have just maintained art as a hobby after leaving Heritage. If you have, or know of, an alumni student that has artwork they would be willing to display, please contact Tresa Munson (munsont@hcs-nl.com) for details and to arrange to do so. Alumni students would be responsible for setting up their own artwork and providing their own displays/easels.

*You will notice that this scheduled for the evening before Grandparents Day, so if you have grandparents already in town, please invite them too!

We look forward to a fun evening and hope you’ll join us for this event. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the office or Mrs. Munson.
Grandparents Day - Friday, April 22

An invitation was sent to all grandparents either by email or regular mail this week with information about Grandparents Day coming up on Friday, April 22. If your student has grandparents that did not get an invitation, feel free to share this invite with them. We hope they are able to join us that morning!
2022 Talent Show

The 2022 Talent Show is coming up quickly. The Talent Show is for students in Kindergarten – 8th grade and is held the last day of school, May 27th. Students who want to participate must sign up by April 14th. The sign-ups are located in your child’s classroom. This year, instead of auditions, students will sign up for a rehearsal day (May 10th and May 11th), which will take place in the gym, immediately after school. Students who sign up must have their acts polished and performance ready when they come to rehearsal. If acts are not polished and ready, students will not be allowed to perform at the talent show. Students may sign up for a maximum of two acts. Contact Miss Griess, Mrs. Munson or Mrs. Super if you have any questions!

Missions

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 (see below) to remind them to pray as well. Students are welcome to contribute towards Anani’s sponsorship (through Compassion International) through giving money at chapel during offering. 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:

·        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)
