Thank you Herndon ES PTA!
We would like to thank our Herndon ES PTA volunteers and parents for the delicious winter luncheon and cookie bar they treated the staff to this week!
They provide so much for our school including back to school events, themed bingo nights, school book fairs, clubs, movie nights, donuts with grownups, cookie decorating party, special breakfasts, lunches, snack for our teachers, staff, and substitutes, and much more.
They are very welcoming to all who would like to join in and help!

Every year at this time, some of our choral students, led by music teacher Cara Chaapel, walk across the street to our community partner Trinity Presbyterian Church and sing holiday songs with their preschool students!
