News from Hennessey Elementary School

Hennessey Elementary students have been settling in nicely to the new school year. Students have learned about being a Hennessey Hero, completed beginning of the year testing, and participated in a few spirit days! Students, families and staff also represented our school at the annual Townie Pride Parade where HERO pride showed!

Our open house event welcomed our families to learn about our school initiatives and see their child’s classroom. We had a great turn out and are excited for all of our family events to come.

One of our school initiatives is attendance. Student attendance is crucial to student success. If a student misses two days a month each year of their school career they will have missed an entire year of schooling by the time they graduate. We know that Hennessey Heroes are in school every day, ready to learn.

Our PTA held its first meeting and has planned so many great events for our school. In October our Hennessey students and their families are invited to our Trunk or Treat and our Harvest Dance. We will also be selling pies to raise money for our field trips this year!

Finally, Hennessey and our community partner HEZ began a little free pantry for our families who need just something on the spot! Our families have already begun using this and have expressed how thankful they are!
