Hennessey Elementary School is Starting Strong!!

They are off!!!! Hennessey students and staff kicked off the year with their annual Ice Cream Social in August. Staff enjoyed serving ice cream sundaes to welcome past and new students to school. Principal Reilly started the year strong by welcoming our Hennessey community at Community Morning Meeting with a focus on our core values of being SAFE, RESPECTFUL and PROUD in all that we say and do. Mya, 4th grader thinks it’s important to follow the core values because “If you do that at school, maybe that person will do the same for everyone else and it will continue to keep going outside of school.” We will continue to push forward to improve our attendance and being on time for school each day. Lana, a 4th grader says, “When you are here, you are learning, when you are not here you are missing out on what you need to know.” Recess and lunch continues to be a time of fun and learning at Hennessey School with Playworks implementation. Students are learning new games and ways to handle conflict peacefully. Our staff continues to learn and lead others by mentoring new educators this year. Communication between home and school is crucial to keep families informed about what is happening at school each day. Thank you to all the families who have signed up on Class Dojo. As always, students and staff loved the warm welcome of high fives that they received from the high school students and staff from the High School during High Five Friday. We are sure to be busy with so many fun and exciting upcoming events such as our monthly spirit days, PBIS assemblies, and Townie Pride Parade. It’s a great time to be a Hennessey Hero!!!
