On November 10th from 8am-9:30am in the media center, the Heritage Middle School Panther Ambassadors will be sponsoring a breakfast and ceremony for any veteran.
You are invited to share this information with any veterans in your life to attend this celebration and have breakfast with you (the student). We are excited for this opportunity to welcome, meet and honor our students’ veterans!

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!
Panther Ambassadors Upcoming Meeting & Update:. Our Panther Ambassadors are having a great start to the year. So far, our students have collectively volunteered over 80 hours giving back to Heritage and the community! Everyone should be so proud of this. We greatly appreciate all that students do and want to do for others!
The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 9 from 2:45-4pm in the media center. We will be setting up and preparing for our Veterans Day Celebration. Hoping to see everyone there!
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
