Happy New Year from the Hennessey Heroes!!!!!

#HennesseyRising

Wishing our Hennessey community a healthy, happy New Year! We are thankful for our partnerships with our community members and families and excited about what the new year will bring for the remainder of the year! 4th grader, Rylee, was asked what she is looking forward to in the second half of the year and she said she is excited to “do more new fun activities together as a school.” Mason, 5th grader, is looking forward to playing tag with his friends at recess and to how to divide with the power of 10. Those are some great goals and things to look forward to!!!!

The Hennessey staff continues to focus on our core values teaching each month. Last month students raised $130.00 from our annual school-wide service project and donated all the proceeds to the Tomorrow Fund. This month staff will focus on our core value of integrity. #CoreValueTeaching

Hennessey loves a spirit day and there were many to close the year!! We had Decades Day and a week of spirit with Wear Green for the Grinch, Wear Holiday Accessories, PJ Day and Sweater Day. Our January spirit day is Dress Like A Teacher/Staff Member. #HennesseyLovesASpiritDay

Shout out to our community ambassador and community policing sergeant for supporting our school community! Shout out to our partnership with the boys and girls club program and thankful for our teachers who supported our students who performed the Nutcracker last month which was so fun to watch. Also, grateful for our HEZ family navigator, Naomi Zeltzer who continues to provide resources to our families. #CommunityPartners

Looking forward to kicking off the year 2023 with lots of teaching and learning at Hennessey School. We will continue to show the importance of our core values of being SAFE, RESPECTFUL and PROUD!

We are excited to start the second half of our school year and we know that if we continue to work together, push each other to be our best, we will continue to RISE each day!

Girls on the Run is so much fun because we make new friends and learn about each other. Girls on the Run have excellent coaches and we do fun activities. The coaches also teach us about things that will be helpful in our lives. Everyone in girls on the run is nice and respectful, they also follow core values. Girls on the run is a safe and kind program. The coaches give us courage every time we run a lap. This is why Girls on the Run is a fun program that 3rd-5th graders can enjoy running with their friends.

Our Girls on the Run team collected puzzles for Hasbro Children’s Hospital this year.

Band-Aids, gauze, medical tape, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes and tweezers were included in each kit. The kits will be given to various sports teams, teachers’ aids, and other youth organizations.
