Kudos to our wonderful friend Mr. KINO for always bringing us so much joy. We will miss you my friend. You have made these past 4 years extra fun. I remember the first day I met you. You walked in to Hernandez with your fedora hat and your dark shades. I knew you were a cool cat. You have a BIG heart. You brought us a Keurig for crying out loud. WHO DOES THAT!? You take care of others and I pray that you will be loved and taken care of where ever you go.
-Much Love Eloisa, Marbel, and Noemi
To Mr. "Bring it Brian" Bolton - THANK YOU for putting up with my "Vampy the Vampire" Negativity at the faculty meeting. To quote Mahatma Gandhi, "I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet." If you want to be successful, you have to be very careful about who is on your bus. Your passengers can increase the energy for the road ahead or drain it. Thank you for "Bring it Brian" for being on my bus!

Kudos to the entire math department for continuing to plan for and work with their students to master the math concepts. Your hard work and dedication are appreciated.
Kudos and congratulations to Gabriel Sanchez for receiving the Pineapple Award this month. Thank you for being flexible and going above and beyond for the students at HeMS.
Kudos and congratulations to Jennifer Santos for being designing and implementing engaging learning experiences for her math students. Your students are truly enjoying math class as they interact with the concepts necessary to complete their math tasks.
Kudos to the 8th grade math PLC for working closely together as engage your students and continually check for understanding in each lesson.
Kudos to Rene Barron for truly co-teaching in each of his inclusion classes. You step up and share the responsibility for each of the students in the classes.
Many thanks to Jennifer Gregorcyk for taking care of everything for the math department. We appreciate your generosity and willingness to always help.
