Heroes Night is Friday Night

Heritage's Heroes Night, which celebrates heroes in public and military service, as well as remembering those who perished in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, will be this Friday night, 9/10/10 at 6 pm in the south gym.  Students and their families were invited to nominate their heroes - police officers, fire department, health workers, and current members of the military - for special invitations to this event. It is sure to be a great evening!

Our class has been invited to sing "This Land is Your Land" for the program, and has been working hard to sing it well.  Students in the program have all been asked to arrive at 5:30 pm to be ready to start the program on time. 

I do hope you can come.  I'm looking forward to seeing you on Friday evening!
