Yesterday, we invited our local Hays first responders to join us for lunch, and what a wonderful turnout we had! 13 first responders (EMS, firefighters, police officers, highway patrol, and even detectives!) joined our students, and they had such a great time visiting and learning more about what they do at their jobs! Many of the students even got to explore the ambulance after lunch! Thank you for joining us and making our lunch period so fun yesterday!
Yesterday was Kansas Day, and we celebrated by wearing our favorite Kansas shirts or Kansas team shirts! Students got into their prayer circle groups and rotated between stations.

Want to check HFE right off of your Christmas list? Make it simple this year and consider giving a cash gift to the "Christmas Gift Fund" which is combined and split across the faculty and staff of HFE for a Christmas bonus which would not otherwise be possible!! Anyone can give to the Christmas Gift Fund to treat those who work so hard for the HFE kiddos and families! Donations can be sent in folders with students or dropped by the school office. Please label your envelope or memo "Christmas Gift Fund". Gift fund donations are due December 2nd! Thank you for your consideration this holiday season!
