From Mr. Goodbar...
This week I started to recognize student birthdays, but being a little into the school year I played a little catch up back to late August for those that were not recognized yet. Students will get a birthday certificate and a mini Mr. Goodbar candy (unless they are allergic, then I will have an alternative) They really seem to enjoy these as a few still ask me for one daily!
As the weather starts to turn remember to have your child come prepared with another layer so they are warm enough. Pumpkin flavored everything is already out in the stores! (Although I have already seen Christmas décor out there as well, crazy…)
Our newly formed Student Council (they landed on the name “StudCo”) will be coordinating a See You at the Pole event next Wednesday morning at 7:45 AM. This has become a tradition in many schools on the last Wednesday of September for students to gather around the flagpole and pray for their school, community, and nation. Join us if you have a few minutes next Wednesday morning. We had an all school chapel this past Wednesday that focused on praise and worship. Hearing them all sing was very encouraging to me. Teachers (and a few students) shared their Teaching for Transformation Deep Hopes with everyone. As we reach the end of September please continue to pray for the teachers and the staff in that we continue to partner well with each of you in fulfilling our mission to be Biblically Faithful and Academically Excellent.
Have a great weekend!

H.A.N.D.S Restaurant Night
H.A.N.D.S. sponsors these nights periodically at various restaurants in the area. Restaurant Nights are fundraisers that local restaurants provide to schools and organizations as a means of serving and supporting the community. A portion of the proceeds from those nights (as designated by the particular restaurant) is given back to H.A.N.D.S. which they in turn use to support various events and activities at the school.
Mark your calendars for our first Restaurant Night of the year and stop by the Bluebird Café in North Liberty on Tuesday, September 26th all day to support Heritage. Just say you are with Heritage and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the school

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.

Please pray for:
· Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)
