💚🏃♀️ May is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month and Mental Health Awareness Month! 🏀🌟
At Herrin Elementary School, we celebrate the importance of caring for both our bodies and our minds. Staying active through sports, play, exercise, and movement helps build strong bodies, while practicing kindness, managing emotions, and supporting one another helps create strong minds.
This month, we encourage our Tigers to get moving, spend time outdoors, talk about their feelings, and take care of themselves and others. Healthy habits—both physical and mental—help us learn, grow, and succeed each day.
Together, we can build a healthier, happier, and stronger school community! 🐯🧡🖤

This day is a great reminder for students and families to appreciate nature and the world around us. Bird Day celebrates the importance of protecting birds and their habitats, while Arbor Day encourages us to plant and care for trees.
Here are a few simple ways to celebrate:
• Plant a tree or a flower
• Put out a bird feeder
• Take a nature walk
• Pick up litter around your neighborhood
• Learn about different types of birds and trees in our area
Small actions can make a big difference in taking care of our environment!
HES will have an 11:30 AM dismissal today. Please make sure to call the school secretaries and/or your child’s daycare with any transportation changes. This helps ensure all students get home safely and smoothly.
Thank you for your help and cooperation!
The school office is the nerve center of a district, and the professionals within determine its pulse. To many parents, students, and community members, the Administrative Professional often IS the school. Their voice on the telephone is the first point of contact; their manner in the front office sets the tone for the day; their ability to handle complex problems with efficiency. In every interaction, their professionalism paints the very image of our school district.
Today, we pause to say thank you. To our entire Administrative Professional staff: You don't just "support" our mission - you make it possible.
Thank you for lightening our burdens. You are the driving force behind our district! 🧡🖤
Small bites lead to BIG changes. We’re serving up wellness tips all year long to help our young Tigers grow strong and fueled.
Ready for a refill on healthy ideas? Sink your teeth into the full collection!

On Earth Day, we are reminded to take care of our planet. Students can help by picking up trash, recycling, turning off lights when leaving a room, and taking care of our school and community.
We also want to give a big THANK YOU to our amazing school secretaries who keep our school running smoothly every single day. From answering phones and helping students to supporting staff and families, they do so much behind the scenes, and we are very grateful for all they do for HES!
Be sure to thank a secretary and do something kind for our Earth on April 22!
