HECTOR of the Week
JH - Kennedie-Kennedie Hedglin has shown great effort and attitude all semester. She comes to school with a positive attitude and ready to work. Kennedie works very hard in her classes, and her teachers recognize this. She is coachable by doing extra tasks when asked. She helps her classmates with school work and helps them to stay on task. We appreciate Kennedie's example of HECTOR in the Junior High.
HS - Kree Wallace - Kree is a prime example of HECTOR in all the ways. His coursework is almost always completed exceptionally well and his manners are always on point. Kree is usually pretty quiet and shows no hesitations when he is asked to help out or run errands.
Staff Hector of the Week is Karen Donkle, She is always there to help our students and staff when needed.

Happy New Year!

2nd graders worked with the John W. Rawlings Heritage Center - they were asked to select one toy from home that represented them or had importance to someone in their life. Then they made a graphic organizer, and an exhibit that included a descriptive poem and an audio recording!
