Herndon Elementary has been featured twice this week in the FCPS Photo Gallery! Click here to see the September 11 and 13 blog. Herndon ES is filled with Kindness!
This year will be our second year utilizing the Positivity Project here at Herndon Elementary School. To start off this school year, we are celebrating the character strength Kindness. We will be highlighting a new character strength each month. There will be many lessons, projects, and as you can see by our photos, opportunities to embrace each strength.

Principal Teresa Fennessy will also be there to discuss what's new at HES and answer your questions! We will be voting on the proposed budget for 2019-2020. Everyone is welcome to attend, but only PTA members can vote.
PTA-Organized Clubs for Fall
PTA-organized clubs will be starting at the end of the month! In order for a club to be offered, it must have a PTA member volunteer willing to coordinate and receive PTA Board approval. If there is a club that you want to see for your child, please consider volunteering to make it happen!
Registration starts later this week. For more information about each club and to register, be sure to check out herndonespta.com/clubs. The clubs the PTA will offer this Fall include: Chess Bee Academy Kids Yoga Team Character Basketball Young Rembrandts
Have an idea for a club? Awesome! Contact Alysia at herndonptaclubs@gmail.com to get started.
New Way to Collect Box Tops
Box Tops is transitioning to a digital app, but there are still some "clip-able" Box Tops in circulation. Please continue to send them in with your student! And download the app where earning money for the school is as easy as taking a photo of your receipt! Let us know if you have any questions! Our Box Tops Coordinator Jilian Breeden is ready to help! She will speak at the PTA Meeting on September 26 as well to give you an update and answer your questions.
