Today, ten HES students got to be principals for the day as a reward for their high PTO candy bar sales! These very professional principals gave out Positive Office Referrals, made announcements over the intercom, visited classrooms, emailed teachers, supervised in the hallways and at recess, and attended a meeting with district administration. They had some great ideas to share about the future of our district! This was an incredible real world learning opportunity for them and gave Mr. Scifres and Ms. Carmody a lot of help at the end of a long week! Thank you to our PTO for catering our working business lunch and for facilitating this experience for our students! #CougarPride #realworldlearning

On be half of the Football Mom's Club, Mrs. Schultz presented a donation from Pink Night to Carrie Bond. We hope to raise awareness by sharing her story.

Here is Carrie's cancer journey in her personal words : In April 2024, a routine mammogram revealed a suspicious area that led to further testing — and ultimately, a diagnosis of triple-positive invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3, a highly aggressive form of breast cancer. I also learned that I carry a CHEK2 gene mutation, which increases my risk for breast, colon, and thyroid cancers.

I began treatment with neoadjuvant TCH-P chemotherapy (6 rounds), followed by bilateral mastectomies and a complete hysterectomy in October 2024. After surgery, I continued with adjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy (Kadcyla, 14 cycles), which I completed in August 2025.

Today, I’m continuing endocrine therapy (letrozole) along with zoledronic acid infusions every six months to help strengthen my bones—something that can be affected by treatment. While some side effects have lingered, I’m healing more each day and feeling stronger all the time.

I’m deeply grateful for the love, prayers, and support from family, friends, and our wonderful community. This journey has opened our eyes to how truly blessed we are and how much kindness surrounds us. We love our community and are thankful beyond words! 💖

Our 7th graders took their science learning outdoors last week, making careful observations of living and non-living things and recording their findings in their science notebooks. It was a beautiful day to explore, ask questions, and connect classroom learning with the world around them!
