Each month, our grade level classrooms will select a student to be the "Rocket of the Month" for his or her class. Please see the complete listing of our first group of Rocket of the Month Award recipients below.

Thank you to all of our families for supporting our students during our read-a-thon. We were blown away by the number of minutes read and all of the donations! Our Rockets read a total of 59,216 minutes and raised a total of $22,179.60!

Congratulations to our grade level winners that have earned a popsicle party! Our winners include Team Eberhart, Team Mack, Team Schnaus, Team Bare, Team Many, and Team Gravely!

We would also like to congratulate our individual winners for reading the most minutes! Our winners include Emma R. with 594 minutes from Mrs. Eberhart's class, Harper O. with 890 minutes from Mrs. Cole's class, Preston L. with 2,800 minutes from Miss Sample's class, Audrey W. with 1,768 minutes from Mrs. Wellington's class, John F. with 1,652 minutes from Mrs. Edwards's class, and Ellory B. with 2,320 minutes from Mr. Striegel's class.

Congratulations to Landon F. from Mrs. Many's class for raising $575 and earning a ride in a police car!

Lastly, we would like to congratulate ALL of our students for their participation in our Read-a-thon! We are really proud of them! Because our Read-a-thon was such huge success, all of our rockets have earned an extra reward...our staff and students will enjoy SCHOOL WIDE PAJAMA DAY on Friday, October 7th!

Our PTO will continue to accept donations through September 30th on FundHub.

If you would like to pay your book fees/device rental or add money to your child's lunch account using a credit/debit card, please login to your child's skyward account and click on "District Links" (top right corner of Skyward) and then on "eFunds Online Payments". If you have not created an eFunds account, you will need to do so. You can link your child to your eFunds account using your child's school ID/lunch number (can be found in Skyward under the "Student Info" tab and is labeled "Other ID"). Once you are logged into eFunds, you will click on "Pay for Optional Fees" to pay your child's book fees/device rental or you will click on "Fund Lunch" to add money to their lunch account. Please note that you will need to know your child's book fee amount from Skyward and manually enter that amount into eFunds. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school office at 317-915-4240.

We know that many of our families have enjoyed the opportunity to eat lunch with their student(s). However, due to safety and space limitations in some of our schools, district administration has made the difficult decision to keep our student lunches closed to all outside guests at this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to look for other opportunities to engage with your student(s), their class, and our schools. There are many ways to get involved! If you have any questions or concerns, contact Jimmie Lake, Chief Operations Officer, at 317-594-4100 or jlake@hse.k12.in.us

Our school-wide read aloud for September is Lovely. All of our teachers will be reading this book with their class, but we encourage you to read it as a family as well. There is also a link below to a read-a-loud version of the book.
