Middle School Student Council
Today we had middle school students vote for their very first Student Council.
First, thank you to everyone who ran for a position. It takes grit to put yourself out there so I applaud them for being willing to serve.
Second, even if you did not make it onto the Student Council, we will need your input and ideas since we are creating something new with this. Please be a resource to your officers and representatives as we start to create what student leadership at Heritage will look like.
Our inaugural Student Council is as follows:
- President – Avery Munson (8)
- VP – Claire Cannon (8)
- Secretary – Grace Dalmasso (8)
- Treasurer – Bella Alambert (7)
-
6th Grade Reps – Noah Liu and Kielyn Penrod
-
7th Grade Reps –Nile Stoakes and Kaelyn Van Otterloo
-
8th Grade Reps – Lexi Liu and Sydney Vrban
Also, thank you to the parents who encouraged their kids to run for these roles. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

You're Invited! This Sunday!
Our 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. McDonald (formerly Miss Early), recently got married and would love to invite ALL HERITAGE FAMILIES to an after I DO celebration at the school this Sunday from 2-5pm! Come celebrate the goodness of God, fellowship with each other, and enjoy 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).

Save The Date - Middle School Lock-in
The HCS middle school lock-in is set to take place on Friday, October 6. This is a fun time of games, food, and fellowship. A speaker is also invited to encourage and challenge the students in God’s Word. Middle school students should have brought home information about the lock-in. Included in this information is a permission slip for attendance, a schedule of events, what they will need to bring, and a link to sign up for supplies needed. We need to have at least four overnight chaperones (two men and two women) in order for the lock-in to take place. All permission slips must be turned in by Friday, September 23rd. We hope all middle school students will be able to come! If you have questions, please contact Sarah Franje (franjes@hcs-nl.com) or Jenn Van Otterloo (vanotterlooj@hcs-nl.com).

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.

Missions - Miss Mysnyk & Anani
“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)

Sports Update
Volleyball Recap
On Thursday, both the 5/6 and 7/8 teams played their first games of the season against the Pathway Panthers. In the 5/6 game, the girls had to work out the nerves in the first set. They improved in the second set and started communicating more and moving around the court more. Despite the improvement the girls dropped both sets 14-25 and 17-25. In the 7/8 game, the girls show tremendous improvement from their first game against Pathway last year. Despite facing some tough serves and learning new positions, the girls persevered and hustled around the court. The girls were getting three passes before sending it over and the with a large team the bench did great job of cheering loudly! They did fall in two sets 22-25 and 13-25.
