March is Music in our Schools Month
In Ms. Chaapel's music class, some of the kids brought in their instruments. They looked at each instrument’s vibrations online and were able to see and hear the difference of the wavelengths of the clarinet, viola, and cello. It was a fascinating combination of music and computers!

HES Art Teacher needs Fabrics
Hello, HES community!
In Art, 5th grade is exploring global issues. Since the beginning of the school year, we have been examining the issue of clothing waste, as well as reusing, recycling and repurposing clothing and fabric. We have recently started a community project of repurposing fabric to create rag wreaths. Student participation is voluntary. We are in need of more fabric – cotton and denim (old jeans or jackets) and are looking for donations. You can send in donations with your child or drop off in the lobby where there will be a donation box.
Also, the art room is accepting donations of beads, buttons, old jewelry and electronics!
Thank you for supporting our project and partnering with us to make a difference for the environment!
Sincerely, Mrs. E.
Se Busca Tela
¡Hola, comunidad HES!
En Arte, el 5to grado está explorando temas globales. Desde el comienzo del año escolar, hemos estado examinando el tema de los desechos de ropa, así como la reutilización, el reciclaje y la reutilización de ropa y telas. Recientemente comenzamos un proyecto comunitario de reutilización de telas para crear coronas de trapo. La participación de los estudiantes es voluntaria. Necesitamos más telas: algodón y mezclilla (jeans o chaquetas viejas) y estamos buscando donaciones. Puede enviar donaciones con su hijo o dejarlas en el vestíbulo donde habrá una caja de donaciones.
¡Además, el salón de arte está aceptando donaciones de cuentas, botones, joyas viejas y aparatos electrónicos!
¡Gracias por apoyar nuestro proyecto y asociarse con nosotros para hacer una diferencia para el medio ambiente!
Atentamente, Sra. E.
