SKI and Board Club: Many have asked about this year’s Ski and Board Club. At this time, we are still waiting on Mad River to finalize details about their student pricing and packages. When that information is released, we will schedule our annual meeting and provide a packet of information.
In the meantime, students can pay their bus fees now via “My Payments Plus”. The Bus Fee is $100 for 5 trips, as we will travel by coach with Cardinal Transportation. Please pay that as soon as possible. Seating is limited and spots are given by a “first come – first serve” basis. Email Mr. Bower (brent_bower@hboe.org) for details.

Scholastic Book Fair Continues Online: Even though the Book Fair is not in person any more in the Media Center, you can still order books online. One of the options on the homepage for Heritage Middle School’s fair is a button for Online Shopping. Scholastic has thousands of books to choose from for all ages. You can shop for your family and friends for the holidays, and those purchases will count towards our Book Fair profit. You can shop online through November 13 using the Heritage Book Fair Homepage. Thank you to all of the students, staff, and parent volunteers who participated last week with the Book Fair. Happy reading!
Native American Heritage Month: As we continue to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Native Americans to the United States, two books will be featured that can be found in the Heritage Media Center. Code Talkers: a novel about the Navajo Marines of World War II by Joseph Bruchac is a historical fiction book. After being taught in a boarding school run by whites that Navajo is a useless language, Ned Begay and other Navajo men are recruited by the Marines to become Code Talkers, sending messages during World War II in their native tongue. Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley is a young adult mystery book. Daunis, who is part Ojibwe, defers attending the University of Michigan on a hockey scholarship to care for her mother and reluctantly becomes involved in the FBI investigation of a series of drug-related deaths. These books and others can be found in the collection titled Indigenous People in Destiny Discover
