Devotion

October is National Bully-Awareness month!!

To show our support and unite against bullying in our schools and community, students at Heritage were encouraged to wear a blue shirt in solidarity to STOMP OUT BULLYING!! 

“GO BLUE” was held on October 10, 2013 in conjunction with our first Heritage Elementary walk-a thon.

In addition students decorated and hung blue feet with key phrases and words around our school that remind us of the character traits we need to follow in order to keep our school bully free.

Cookout

Students enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on the grill outside by their principal Mr. B. and Mr. Sonny from Metz food services. Also on the menu for the children was pasta salad, baked beans, strawberries, watermelon, chips, and cookies. The weather was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the change in atmosphere as they soaked up the sun.

Johnny Appleseed

Students in grades K & 1 celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday which is on September 26th. John Chapman (September 26, 1774 – March 11, 1845), often called Johnny Appleseed, was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, including the northern counties of present day West Virginia. He became an American legend while still alive, due to his kind, generous ways, his leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance he attributed to apples.
Students & teachers along with the assistance of National Honor Society students from our high school integrated the apple theme into math and language arts activities. Pictured you will see some of the examples such as: apple prints, apple jack necklaces, apple sauce, along with many other lessons, which were all "stemmed" from a math or language arts curricular standard.

Hat Day at Heritage

Wear a Hat for Cancer at Heritage! 

On Friday, September, 20, 2013, Heritage Elementary allowed their students to make a $2 donation in order to wear their favorite hat to school. Supported by the Cancer & Blood Disorders Auxiliary of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation, this day-long event raised vital funds to benefit children being treated for cancer at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. 

Wear a Hat is a sign of support for children battling the difficult side effects, including hair loss, and emotional struggles confronted during cancer treatment. Together, we can let children know they are not alone in their fight against cancer. 

Our donations will directly support the needs of the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Children's Hospital.
