Bobcats in Action 📸: This week our Hempstead Elementary kindergartner students are learning about colonial times and the various jobs or chores people did long ago. During their lesson, they rolled up their sleeves and learned the art of butter churning. #HigherHeights
Our top Accelerated Readers were treated to McDonald's for lunch. They earned AR points by reading books and taking tests about them online. Readers are leaders!

Kindergartners have been learning about colonial times and the many different jobs and chores that people did long ago. After learning about how to churn butter, our littlest bobcats decided to try it for themselves!
Third graders who showed growth on their STAAR Interim test enjoyed some extra recess to celebrate their hard work!

HES needs your help! Students will be selling delicious, $1 World's Finest Chocolate bars in order to help fund HES activities. To help with this fundraiser, please follow these steps:
1. Sign and return the permission form for your student to take a chocolate box to sell.
2. Sell, sell, sell! Your student will receive a box of chocolate bars to sell to family, friends, etc. (Door-to-door sales are not recommended.) Cash or check are accepted, place all money received in the collection envelope included in your chocolate box.
3. Return the collection envelope to school, and take another box if you would like to continue to sell even more to support HES!
Every student who sells chocolate will be able to wear their favorite hat upon returning their collection envelope. The highest selling class will win a pizza party! The individual student who sells the most chocolate will win their own 1 lb. chocolate bar! This fundraiser will last until April 12th, when all collection envelopes are due.
