These girls sure are "TIGGERIFIC"! I just wanted to take a few seconds to introduce three lovely young ladies in sixth grade. Jayla, Maiya, and J'Lyricc are always willing to help with any task and know how to keep a smile on your face. Thanks girls for keeping me smiling!

Before Christmas Student Council had a recycling drive to collect used cell phones and empty computer printer ink cartridges. We sent the box of old cell phones and computer printer ink cartridges to the recycling center. Student Council earned 186.5 points for our first box. We can buy items needed for school using our points or convert the points to cash (186.5 points = $75). If we convert the points to cash, the money will be spent on trophies for Award's Day and/ or to help with Field Day in May. The faculty and staff at Hal Henderson believe our students deserve the very best, and we ask now for your help again in collecting more empty computer printer ink cartridges and used cell phones. The more money we can manage to raise will only result in a bigger and better Field Day and Award's Day. Thanks for your help. We greatly appreciate our parents.

Making the honor roll can be exciting, but what can we do if setbacks prevent your child from making the honor roll? In fifth and sixth grades your child's assignments will be more challenging than those in lower grades. Before your child can complete his assignments, he needs to know how to get a good start. He also needs your help planning what to do when a problem occurs. Here are a few suggestions to help your child:
* Always read the directions first. Many students skip this step and assume they know what to do. They may miss information and miss the point of the assignment.
* Look for examples. Your child may find examples of what to do in his textbook.
* Use other resources. If your child is having trouble with an assignment, he can ask an adult, call a classmate, or try getting help from a homework help site on the Internet.
* Speak to the teacher. If your child continues to have problems, you should talk to the teacher as soon as possible.
