Operation Gratitude
With Veterans Day right around the corner, this is a perfect way for HRE students to recognize those who have sacrificed so much for our country's freedom by "sacrificing" some of their Halloween candy. All candy donations will be shipped overseas by a local dentist who has partnered with Operation Gratitude on behalf of our school. All types of wrapped, store-bought candy (except Pixie Sticks) will be accepted.
To learn more about Operation Gratitude as well as how the candy is donated, visit:

Please have students bring in their candy starting on Wednesday, November 1st. Candy will be accepted through Tuesday, November 7th.
Thank you for helping us to help others and demonstrate "Gratitude" to our brave service men and women.
Veterans Day Program
Due to space limitations, we are asking that only one parent per participating student attend; sorry, no siblings. However, if a parent would like to bring a veteran or someone currently serving in our armed forces as a special guest, they are welcome and encouraged to do so.
To speed up the entrance process and help with seating, there will be two lines located at the gym door (exit 10) -- one for parents with veterans and one for parents only. This is considered a public event so no background checks will be required.
Prizm Video Productions will be professionally filming our program and will offer DVDs for sale at $20 per copy. Ordering details will be forthcoming.
Our first through fourth graders are very excited to celebrate Veterans Day through singing, reading and honoring those who have served our country so that we may enjoy all of our freedoms.

HRE PTO Needs Your Help!
The HRE PTO has started preparations for the annual Pancake Breakfast, Our Pancake Breakfast has been scheduled for Saturday, December 9th. For more than 5 years, our PTO has been very fortunate to receive the pre-made pancake batter from Bob Evans. Unfortunately, due to a change in management, they will not be able to help us this year. If you or someone you know, has a business that might be interested in donating the batter, please contact Brittany Schmuck at brittany.schmuck@yahoo.com.
