🐯🧡 RESPECT 🧡🐯
September at HES was all about RESPECT! We are so proud of the students who consistently demonstrated respect through their words, actions, attitudes, and the way they treated others.
👏 Congratulations to our September Respect Award Winners! 👏
These Tigers have shown us that respect means treating others the way we want to be treated, listening, using kind words, showing good manners, and valuing ourselves and those around us.
🌟 Your kindness, responsibility, and positive example make HES a better place for everyone!
Please join us in congratulating our September Respect Award Winners! 🎉
🐯 WAY TO GO, TIGERS! 🐯
Respect • Responsibility • Kindness • Excellence

🍂🐯 OCTOBER AT HES! 🐯🍂
October gives us an opportunity to shine an extra light on some very important causes and people in our HES family - but these are values we believe in and practice all year long! 🧡🖤
💙 DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH
We celebrate individuals with Down syndrome and promote acceptance, inclusion, understanding, and kindness. Every person has unique strengths and abilities that make our school community stronger!
🚫🛑 BULLY PREVENTION MONTH
At HES, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, respected, and included. We encourage our Tigers to stand up for others, speak up when something isn't right, include everyone, and choose kindness.
👩💼🐯 NATIONAL PRINCIPALS MONTH
October is also a special time to recognize and celebrate our principals for the leadership, dedication, encouragement, and care shown to our students, staff, and families each and every day!
✨ BUT HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART… ✨
While October brings extra awareness to these important topics, we don't believe kindness, inclusion, acceptance, respect, and standing up for others should only happen for one month.
❤️ We practice these values THIS month and EVERY month.
❤️ We celebrate differences THIS month and EVERY month.
❤️ We stand up for others THIS month and EVERY month.
❤️ We show kindness THIS month and EVERY month.
❤️ We appreciate and support one another THIS month and EVERY month.
This is what it means to be a TIGER and to live our 10 Essentials every day! 🐯
🧡 FOUR HOUSES. ONE TIGER FAMILY. 🖤
🐯 BE KIND. BE INCLUSIVE. BE THE EXAMPLE.

🐺💙 A DREAM COME TRUE FOR HOUSE RÊVEUR! 💙🐺
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Waters family for their incredibly thoughtful and creative donation to House Rêveur! ✨
The Waters family 3-D printed a wolf for EVERY STUDENT in House Rêveur! 🐺💙 What an amazing way to bring the spirit and identity of our House to life!
“Rêveur” means dreamer or idealist in French. It represents students who dream big, believe in themselves, and refuse to let obstacles stand in the way of their goals. 🌟
These little wolves are more than just 3-D prints—they are a reminder to our students to DREAM BIG, BELIEVE BIG, and NEVER GIVE UP! 🐺💙
Thank you, Waters family, for supporting our Tigers and helping make House Rêveur so special! Your generosity means so much to our HES family! 🧡🖤

📢 **House Essential of the Week: "Leave Every Place Better Than You Found It"**
This week at Herrin Elementary School, our students are focusing on a key House Essential: **Leave Every Place Better Than You Found It!**
We are teaching our Tigers that taking pride in our spaces—whether it's a classroom, the cafeteria, the playground, or our community—means leaving it cleaner, neater, and more welcoming than when we arrived.
**Parents, we need your help at home!**
This lesson doesn't stop when the school bell rings. Take a look with your child this week:
* How does their bedroom look?
* What about the living room or dinner table after a meal?
* Is it better than they found it?
Please join us in reinforcing this habit at home. With your support, we can help our students build strong responsibility, respect, and pride in everything they do! 🐾✨
