Muffins with Moms - Friday, Feb 25

Muffins with Moms is next Friday, February 25 from 7:30-8:10am. This is an opportunity for students to bring their mom or a special guest to join with others for muffins and juice in the gym before school that morning. Siblings are also welcome to come along. A reminder that children should remain with their parent/special guest during this event. There will also be a photographer there that morning and you’re encouraged to get your picture taken with your child, and H.A.N.D.S. will print the pictures and send them home in your child’s Friday folder the next week.

There's still a few opportunities to sign up to help that morning, check out the signup genius below and see how you can help!
After School Care Workers Needed

We're once again desperately looking for after school care workers to help school days from 3:30-5:30pm. With the changing of the sports seasons, we're losing a few of our high school workers. If we aren't able to secure more workers we won't be able to continue offering this service, particularly a couple of days each week. Please spread the word among your circles and f you know someone 16 or older who may be able to help out through the end of the school year, please contact Lisa Turnbough.
Email Security Updates

Our technology provider recently deployed a new spam filter for our Heritage emails and we've discovered some emails that we actually do want are getting blocked. If you send an email to anyone at the school and get a message that it's been blocked or think your emails are not getting through, please let us know so we can fix the error!

What Happened in Chapel this Week?

This week in Chapel we continued to explore what it means to be an Order Discoverer.
 
Since there is no school on Friday, there was no 5th – Middle School Chapel; however, PreK-4th grade did hear from Paul Smith (Mrs. Smith’s husband) about what it means to be an “odor discoverer.” He shared with students that God has uniquely created us to be able to smell and identify over 1 trillion different odors. He had several volunteers blindly smell a variety of household items (dish soap, ketchup, coffee – even dog food). As they were able to identify those smells, he reminded all the students that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that we should praise God for the unique ways he has created all of us to accomplish His plans. Please pray for our students as we continue to explore God’s order and our students role in the Biblical story. Pray also that they better understand His good and perfect plans for each of them.
7/8th Grade Creation Museum Trip

Every other year, our 7th and 8th grade students have the opportunity to take a trip to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. This trip serves as a means to wrap up students’ time at Heritage with an event that is both fun and purposeful by visiting a museum that supports what students have been taught – undergirding their knowledge of History and Science from a biblical perspective. After having to cancel the trip 2 years ago due to COVID, this year it's back on the schedule for April 7-9. A couple of requests as we anticipate this trip:

  • We're still looking for male chaperones so if you're a dad of a 7th or 8th grader and able to help out, please reach out to Dave Munson.
  • The trip costs roughly $350/student and this year one of the items on the Educating for Eternity Silent Auction will be the opportunity to help fund this trip for our families. If you or someone you know may be interested in this, please be watching for that information at our Gala on March 5.
  • Please be in prayer for our 33 students,12 chaperones, and Mr. Munson as they prepare for this trip; for logistics, safety, receptive hearts, and an enjoyable experience!

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:
·        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

5/6th Girls Game Recaps
The Eagles won their third game in a row, guaranteeing a winning season by beating CR Trinity 38-2. It was truly a team effort from start to finish as every Eagle scored. Lauren Kallemeyn led in scoring with 12 points, Sydney Vrban added 8 points and Abigale Boldt tallied 6 points. The Eagles continued their domination on the boards, led by Avery Munson and Vrban who had 7 rebounds each. As the score indicates, the Eagles defense proved more difficult to break into than Fort Knox - Boldt and Kallemeyn led in steals (5 and 4, respectively) and Zoe Edkin impressed with her defensive positioning and discipline. Sophia Greazel dished out 4 assists from the point guard position.
