Enjoy a popsicle and get to know the new principals of Herty Primary! It’s a come-and-go event from 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, July 20.

Kuddos to these two ladies, Kristian Taylor and Jamie Moore! These are our Speech Pathologists and they serve 90+ children here at Herty! Thank you Kristian and Jamie! We love you!!!

In honor of National School Nurse Day, Herty Primary recognizes Nurse Ashley McElvey. Nurse Ashley is the bomb! She truly is compassionate, kind, patient and so loving to all kids and staff. She goes above and beyond to accommodate and tend to all of our campus needs. She misses lunch most days to take care of students. Thank you, Ashley, for all you do for Herty!

Thanks to Amanda Smith and other PTK members, Herty teachers were blessed with a week’s worth of catering to and more food, treats, snacks and drinks that is imaginable. Special thanks to Quad Graphics for a wonderful luncheon from Roost. Also, appreciation goes out to TImber Creek Church for Chick Fil A and other monetary donations. Shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Freddie Keel and Mr. Joe for a delicious fried fish buffet with all the trimmings and a new supply of homemade pickles by Mrs. Glenda Keel. (If you haven’t had Glenda’s pickles, you’re missing out!) In addition to all of that, Lufkin High School Culinary Arts fixed us up with some yummy cookies and treats. Lastly, but most certainly not least, a huge thank you to Lufkin’s First Baptist Church for a breakfast buffet on Friday to kick off Field Day. In addition, they lined our hallways with red carpet treatment with a star for every employee! This has been a year for the books. We are very lucky to have so many people vested in our school. Your efforts are so, so appreciated.

Shout out to these ladies! We want to say a big “thank you” for serving us twice daily. You ladies are awesome. Also, congratulations to Cassandra and her crew for receiving a perfect score on the state inspection. The city inspector reports that they are doing a great job with keeping the campus/kitchen in compliance!

These ladies!!!!! We give a big “thank you” to Mrs. Betty Wilson and Mrs. Lorena Gaitan for all they do for us here at Herty Primary. Happy Administrative Assistan’ts Day to you both. You are appreciated.
