Heritage Fun Run

Heritage Fun Run

Our Heritage PTO sponsored a fundraising Fun Run on September 24^th to help raise money to go towards field trips, classroom supplies, playground upkeep, and teacher wish lists.

The fundraiser lasted 9 days and each day the class with the most pledges for that day won a party.  If a student collected $300 or more in pledges, he/she won a Limousine Ride to Pizza Hut on 151^st Street in Olathe for a lunch buffet.

Over $15,000 was pledged thanks to the extremely hard work of our PTO and all of the parents who helped their children with this fundraiser!  And to all of our Hound Dogs who ran LOTS of laps to fulfill their pledges. (Thirty laps equaled 2 miles.)

We would like also thank these businesses for their generous contributions:

Mike Grann Farm Bureau Insurance

Pizza Hut (151^st Street, Olathe)

Pinot’s Pallette

360 Gymnastics

ATA Marshal Arts

Thwacked! 5th Grade Music Program

Thwacked!
Last Monday the 5th graders performed their musical that was a mixture of Chicken Little and The Frog Prince. You can see how much fun it was by the photos.

Great job, 5th Grade and Mrs. Owen!

Monday - Dream Kindness - Pajama Day

Tuesday - Crazy for Kindness - Crazy Hair Day
Wednesday - Kindness Rocks - Dress up like a Rock Star
Thursday - KC (Kindness and Compassion) Day - wear your favorite Royals or Chiefs gear.

1st Grade Bomb Squad Demonstration

     Wednesday, September 30th was a fun day!             Mr. Rafols, a Heritage parent and fire fighter, came to school to tell us about his job with the bomb squad.  It was amazing!  He did such a good job presenting that the students didn’t even realize the danger that is involved with that type of job. 
He showed the students how the robots work and what they can do. 
On Sunday, October 4^th at station 51 they will be having an open house type of event for the public.  They will be having fun activities for the kids as well as a display of the robots.  The fire dogs will be there too.  It is at the station by the police department.
