Reminder - Thanksgiving Break
 
No School next week due to Parent Teacher Conferences on Monday and Tuesday and the Thanksgiving holiday. We wish all of our families a safe, healthy, and relaxing Thanksgiving break!
 
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." I Thessalonians 5:16-18.
Heritage Apparel Order

Don't forget to get your apparel orders in. The store closes on Sunday, the 21st with items back on December 9th!
Current Family Pre-K Enrollment - Contact Kathy in the office for an application packet
 
Monday, November 29 has been set aside as the day for current Heritage families to enroll their child in next year's pre-kindergarten classes. Heritage families are given priority; however, as the demand from the community is rapidly increasing, enrollment will open to the public November 30, so please do not delay. Stop by the office to pick up an enrollment packet. The application can also be found on our website or by clicking here. Parents wishing to enroll a child need to submit the following:
  
1. A completed application
2. Copy of Birth Certificate
3. Payment of the non-refundable $40 application fee.
  
If you plan to have your child do a second year of Pre-K, you do not need to fill out the paperwork again; simply let Kathy Schallau (schallauk@hcs-nl.com) in the office know!
Operation Christmas Child Update

We originally had 20 boxes as a goal to fill for Operation Christmas Child (2 boxes for each of the PK-5th grade classrooms). We were BLOWN AWAY with how much was donated and as a result we were able to fill ADDITIONAL boxes! As a school, we filled 31 boxes for Operation Christmas Child! Praise God! We also had EXTRA money to cover shipping costs for the boxes, so we donated the extra to Operation Christmas Child. THANK YOU for the part you played in bringing the love of Jesus to children all over the world. Please be praying for those children that receive the boxes; that they would experience the saving power of Jesus Christ in their lives.
Lost and Found
 
Be sure to stop by the Lost and Found table in the hallway when you're in the building for Parent Teacher conferences next week. There's plenty of quality items that would love to return to their home!
Shopping Amazon this Season?
 
Just a reminder about earning money for Heritage as you shop Amazon this season. Simply log onto smile.amazon.com and shop as normal. The first time you log on it will ask you what charity you would like to support and you can select Heritage. For every qualifying purchase, Amazon will donate .5% back to Heritage. It's an easy way to support a great cause!
Shutterfly Storefront Fundraiser
 
Get a jump start on some Christmas gifts and order through the Shutterfly Storefront and Shutterfly will donate 8% of all purchases to Heritage. Go to
HCS-NL.ShutterflyStorefront.com to start your order
Sports Update

Basketball and cheerleading signups going on now! Please email Mr. Harshman if your child is interested in playing or cheering. All forms and fees are due by Friday, November 19.

We are excited to announce that Susan Sanchez will be our cheerleading coach this year. Susan brings a wealth of experience after cheering for 10 years and is looking forward to working with our cheerleaders!
