Herty families and friends came out in full fundraising mode tonight. Thank you to all who came and dined at Whataburger on Timberland. A big thank you goes out to Chris Johnson of GVCS Inc. for hosting this fundraiser and giving a portion of profits to our school!

Mrs. B’s first grade class was challenged earlier this school year to fill the “Team Jar”. The students were recognized as Mrs. B witnessed kindness, team work, awesome effort, great behavior, and just about anything that instilled great values! She promised a great prize and promoted the effort with her mystery motivator. Well, her kiddos rose to the occasion and filled that jar last week. As promised, Mrs. B bought the class a cool blue & silver beta complete with tank, rocks, tank toys, etc. It’s a great day to be in Mrs. B’s class! Good job, kiddos!

Good behavior pays off! Mrs. Tillar’s Kindergartener’s earned a popsicle party for being awesome for her substitute teacher on Friday!

Literacy night was a HUGE success. Thanks to Mrs. Aunchalee Whisenant and her family, HEB, the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council, and the Angelina College Roadrunner basketball team, our kids had a blast! Lastly, thank you Herty staff for creating such an enchanting evening for the kids and their families!

Mark your calendars and plan on eating at Whataburger on October 11th! Whataburger on Timberland will be the place to be.

Herty Primary will receive a portion of proceeds from sales from 5:00 til 8:00 pm. Please make plans to join the Herty family on October 11th!

Herty Primary celebrated National Grandparents Day with goodies and GRAND crowd. Our campus was overflowing with grandparents and other family members, who enjoyed cookies & punch along with lots of picture-taking. We offer a sincere, special “thank you” to First Baptist Church volunteers for serving our families! Click on “read more” for pictures of the event.

Herty students gathered for their first Town Hall Meeting. Principals Jill Riggs and Tonya Turnage discussed behavior expectations in the cafeteria and at dismissal times. Students demonstrated the “peace and quiet” sign and helped problems-solve as teachers modeled specific disruptive behavior. As the meeting was closing, Lufkin ISD’s Education Foundation Prize Patrol arrived, complete with the LHS drumline and cheerleaders, to present a check to our first grade teachers for implementation of a First Grade Garden..

In honor of Grandparents Day, on Friday, September 7th, Herty Primary welcomes all grandparents to come to school and enjoy a treat with their special grandchild!

Students will enjoy goodies with their Grandparents at 1:00 pm in the cafeteria. We hope to see you on September 7th!

Herty Primary celebrated the end of the school year with a Saturday-workday! The staff was treated to a wonderful breakfast by Calvary Baptist Church. Many, many thanks to these special ladies, not only for the breakfast, but for praying over us, our students and our school families. We are so blessed to have spiritual warriors intervening for our school daily. Bring on summer!

Herty Primary celebrated student accomplishment with end of the year awards. Awards were given for Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, Book Club(s), Library Star, Special Olympics Participants and helpers, etc. It’s been a great year at Herty Primary!

First graders were treated to an ice cream sundae party for reaching reading goals of 75 (plus) books.

Thank you Brookshire Brothers for providing breakfast for us! We love surprises — especially when it comes to food!

The red carpet was rolled out and students showed up in style for the glamorous Herty Book Awards! Our Reading Lab ladies read quite a collection of books throughout the school year and Herty students voted on several favorites ….. from Best Non-Fiction, Best Illustrator, Funniest, Saddest to Favorite Author. The entire student body participated in the big event and were treated to choosing books to take home for summer reading! Herty Primary truly has heart!

Herty Primary hosted Special Olympics in the gym and outdoors at the Herty campus. Students were climbing through hula hoops, riding bikes, jumping through bubbles and having a wonderful time. To help out, some Lufkin Middle School students and Herty 2nd grade students volunteered to show the special needs children the ropes and buddy up with them.
