March and April’s Super Power: Caring
Caring people love, help, give and are kind. They are caretakers of people, pets, plants, possessions and even the planet. Caring people show their concerns for others in active ways.
Caring people are:
- Kind
- Compassionate and show they care
- Express gratitude
- Forgive others
- Help people in need
Here’s a link to more ways to help your children develop this Character Pillar: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uoI4-HQOMzAFps9fhMuLiV6YmNe9RBxW5TyYbBzYrwA/edit?usp=sharing

parents of HRE can
connect, delight in
food & drinks, enjoy
entertainment from the
Center for World Music --
the music program our children enjoy at HRE, and partake in a silent and live auction!
Get your tickets now by visiting:
hrefmay16.eventbrite.com ($30* per person (use code Earlybird) $35* after April 1, 2020) or email Maya Pinchman at springfundraiser@hrefoundation.org.
While many exceptional auction items have already been donated for the event,
we are turning to the parents and grandparents of HRE to see if anyone can donate a timeshare or vacation house/rental to the Spring Auction! The more amazing items we have to offer at the auctions, the more money we can raise to continue to
pay for our children's Science, Music, PE, Art, and Choir.

SCIENCE FIELD DAY - ARE YOU INTERESTED?
Attention 4th and 5th Grade Scientists! We are looking to put together a competitive science team to represent Highland Ranch at this year’s science field day.The Science Field Day is a fun one day event where more than 50 schools come together to compete in 15 different science related events. Events include catapult competitions, tin car racers, barge building, as well as bugging out, starry nights and much much more. Each student/team will get to compete in two to three events of their choice. In addition, many non-competitive events go on throughout the day making it a fun festival atmosphere. An award ceremony is held at the end of the day and awards are given to 25 teams for each event.
Science field day will be on May 16. If you are interested in being a part of the fun please email

SAVE THE DATE FOR THE BOOK FAIR!
Reading for pleasure has real and long-lasting benefits. It unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps kids discover who they are. Help your child develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading by:
- Set the example - let your kids see you read!
- Having a collection of books in the home. Update this collection routinely to keep pace with changing tastes and reading skills.
- Supporting our school’s Scholastic Book Fair. Allow your kids to choose their own books they’ll love.
Our Buy One, Get One Free Book Fair is a reading event that brings books to your child’s school that they want to read. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and help shape your child’s reading habits. Our Book Fair will be in the MPR from March 31st to April 3rd.

YEARBOOK NEWS
New this year - RECOGNITION ADS!! Recognition ads are a great way to allow parents to recognize students and teachers in the yearbook. Ads come in 4 sizes. See Treering.com for more details.
The last day to order your yearbook and upload those pictures is Friday, April 17th. The yearbook editors need time to edit and proofread the yearbook before submitting to print. The Yearbook Committee (parent volunteers) is always in the process of needing pictures to include in the yearbook, and we would like your help. You can upload your student’s pictures at the various school activities and events. Even if you don’t buy a yearbook, you can still upload photos using www.treering.com and enter our school code 1013489799753947. Your photos will help our yearbook committee editors as they continue to work on the yearbook. All pictures should have been taken within HRES campus or at places where a school-sponsored activity has taken place. If you have any questions, please email us at hresybk@gmail.com.
BOX TOPS CONTEST
Don’t forget to send in your box tops and scan your receipts! Our next contest will go until April 3. If we can reach $100 (1000 box tops or scans) the WHOLE SCHOOL gets a popsicle party! Download the new Box Tops mobile app on any smart phone in the app store. The new app allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school’s earnings online. If you still have traditional Box Tops clips at home, make sure to send them to school. Don’t forget, you can “double dip” during the packaging transition by clipping traditional Box Tops AND scanning your store receipt containing participating products. Thanks for helping our school get what it needs!
