Parents …. please put your child’s name in her/his coat with a permanent marker. We have many jackets on the “lost and found” rack in the hallway in the main wing. ALL of these jackets/coats DO NOT HAVE A NAME IN THEM!!! If your child is missing a coat, have him or her check the rack to see if it has been “found”.

Herty Primary students experienced a very unique lesson this week. Southwest Dairy Farmers brought a a milk cow to the school and enlightened our students on the value and nutrition of milk along with a lesson on where, when and how milk is gathered and produced! Students learned that the Jersey cow produces milk. They learned that there are six different breeds of dairy cows. Students witnessed the jersey be electronically milked while the milk collected into a tank on the mobile dairy. Click on “read more” to see a gallery of pictures from this fun learning journey.
