Off to a Great Start
I couldn't be more proud of our Safety's so far this year. They have really taken on the responsibility of what it means to be on Safety Patrol. Below are a few pictures of them in action.
Halloween Parade
We ask that parents do not park in the main Heritage parking lot, as this is where the parade will begin and access to the lot will be needed for bus dismissal at Heritage. Thank you.
