Hennessey Elementary News!

This October at Hennessey Elementary School has been filled with warmth, generosity, and community spirit. Our SOCKtober event, a school-wide sock drive supporting The Hope and Faith Organization, has been a huge success. Students were excited to “feed the sock monster,” a fun and creative way to collect donations. The enthusiasm for giving back was contagious, and the mountain of socks keeps growing! Every pair collected will help someone in need, reminding us all of the impact we can have through small acts of kindness.

Another highlight of the month was our PTA’s fantastic Trunk or Treat event! Families gathered for a fun and spooky evening of trick-or-treating right from the trunks of creatively decorated cars. A special shout-out goes to the first prize trunk, designed with a lively and fun SpongeBob Squarepants theme. It truly captured the spirit of the event and brought smiles to everyone's faces.

October has also been a month for reflection on our core values. At Hennessey Elementary, responsibility has been our focus. Through daily classroom lessons and school-wide activities, students have learned how important it is to be accountable for their actions and decisions. As we move into November, we’ll shift our focus to gratitude and giving back, themes that will guide us through the holiday season as we continue to foster a community of caring.

Our students have also been spreading kindness throughout the school with the help of our Kindness Cart. Each week, this cart makes its way through the halls, offering treats and surprises to brighten everyone’s day. In an exciting new development, the Kindness Cart will soon be expanding its reach to include our Hennessey families, bringing joy and positivity to even more people in our community.

Hennessey Elementary is proud to be a place where responsibility, gratitude, and kindness thrive. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this month so special. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community.
