Birthday Lunch Calendar
The PTA loves to celebrate our students on their birthdays. Each month, a PTA representative will set-up a table in the cafeteria where students can collect a special treat bag and a popsicle.
Everyone loves birthday lunch, but please note the following changes:
1. Cupcakes Coordination: Parents will now coordinate a date with the teacher for cupcakes. Cupcakes will not be given at lunch since students are already receiving a popsicle.
2. Parent Departure: To ensure a smooth dismissal process, all parents will be asked to leave the cafeteria before the students are dismissed.
Thank you for your cooperation as we implement these updates to enhance safety and organization during birthday celebrations.

Clap-Out in the Halls of HES
All classrooms at HES will line the halls and give our 5th Graders a round of applause while they walk the school one last time – as we say goodbye!
(Parents and siblings are invited to join us for this event)
You’ve gained a lot of knowledge
and have changed from day to day.
We hope all the things you’ve learned at HES
will help you pave your way.
Can’t believe our end is near
We hate to say goodbye
Good luck to you in middle school …
Spread your wings and fly.
But hang on to the memories of all the things we did,
most of all remember,
You’re a very special kid!
Teacher Grants
The Heritage Elementary PTA has established a fund to help our teachers. Each year we supply a a grant to each teachers, specialists and grade levels to use for supplies that will enrich their students’ experience at Heritage. This is made possible through membership support and PTA fundraisers.
