Heth Washington was temporarily under new leadership on 10-6-23, as 1st grade student Thadd Deatrick-or should we say Mr. Deatrick was principal for the day! Mr. Deatrick enjoyed helping to lead our morning meeting and the Pledge of Allegiance to start his day. He also chose the cover for the school yearbook and helped to read in our K-2nd grade classrooms. He even treated his 1st grade classmates to extra recess, "if they were good for their teacher!" Thanks for being a great leader at HWES, Thadd!
Awesome watercolor and pumpkin patch created by HWES students to brighten the hallways! Thank you Ms. Burnett for sharing your creativity and love of Art!

Heth Washington 6th graders culminated their egg drop projects on September 26 by having their devices dropped from 3, 8, and 40'! Students worked through the design process of trial, error, and eventual success. Students also detailed their process, methods, and materials in their engineering notebook and wrapped up the project with a written assignment detailing their scientific journey!
