Hedke hosts WJR Club

WJR at Hedke Elementary School is not a radio station but stands Walk, Jog, Run.

Staff sponsor Mr. Jamie Cihak says to participants,“If you can, run! If you can’t run, jog and if you can’t jog, walk!

Mr. Cihak is a great role model to our students to get out there and move as he bikes to school each day and is an avid jogger as well.

The staff at Hedke know that students who are physically fit often do better in school so any group that helps student heart health also leads to better academic performance.

The 25 or so members of the Walk, Jog, Run Club meet before school and are averaging between 1 and 2.5 miles per morning!

The scenic areas around the school are perfect for a cool morning run!

Hedke Pto Revives The Spring Carnival

A long held sign of spring had been the annual Spring Carnival at school. Students looked forward to returning to school on the weekend to play carnival games, winning prizes and eating pizza, popcorn and candy! Then came Covid.

Crowds were not allowed to gather and schools were not allowed to have outside groups in for fear of spreading viruses to each other and further exacerbating school attendance.

Fast forward to 2023 and the Hedke PTO decided that this much-loved sign of spring had to return!

On Wednesday May 3rd after months of planning the Hedke Spring Carnival returned. Over 30 parent volunteers and dozens of THS student council members and National Honor Society students donated their time to run games and serve food.

The games were provided by Fun Services who specialize in fairs and school events.

Hundreds of students returned with their parents for the three-hour fair.

When asked about the success of the fair the chairwoman, Stacie Kuciemba said, “A great time was had by all. The basket raffles were super successful and the favorite for the parents.

“Next year we may have to open up the cafeteria too so we can have more room for the crowds of kids and families who were waiting in line for the games!”
