We will be recycling aluminum cans once a month every month. The collection days will be the second Thursday of each month ONLY. We appreciate you collecting the cans, but do not have a storage area for them. We will take them to recycle the same day we collect them. So, PLEASE do not bring the cans to school on any day but the collection days. THANK YOU!

Eagle News!
Eagle News
Heritage Elementary School incorporates a daily video news channel into our school day. Eagle news is a closed circuit television station that utilizes our telecenter technology to broadcast daily announcements, and other important happenings at our school.
Eagle News is a collaboration with the Heritage student council. Fourth and fifth grade officers and classroom representatives serve as anchors to broadcast the news. This program helps students to build confidence and become effective public speakers.
