This is what it’s all about! Eight years in and I still feel the rush on Sneak-Peek night when I open the doors and yell, “Let’s get this year started!” Families pour into our halls and the excitement is unmatched! 💙💚

What a great day of collaboration! Bringing educators together with one common goal was powerful!! When hardworking, knowledgeable and passionate educators leave PD understanding the goal and feeling empowered to surpass expectations, it’s a great day!

The calm before the fun! Can’t wait to welcome IC, WG and PR, to HN along with our awesome coaches for training in clarity, Learning Intentions and Success Criteria! Let’s GO!!

Underground staff spirit week day, two! Thanks to Heatherstone staff for being so awesome! 💙💚⁦@olatheschools⁩

🌟 At Heatherstone Elementary School, students are immersed in exciting activities throughout their day! 🎳 Whether building and creating through hands-on projects, discovering new worlds in books, or working on their bowling skills in PE, their enthusiasm is contagious! ✏️ In

2nd graders got two different colored sticky notes. One for notices & one for wonder ?’s. They got to partner read a story about how to tell when it’s fall. We even talked what a good coach does/sounds like when we get stuck on reading tricky words. @hnhuskies @olatheschools

Congratulations to our one and only, Mrs. Teetzen (Saylors)! The impact you have made w/your students in 1 short year is so powerful! You know what it takes! You ARE what it takes and your compassion and insight is remarkable! 💚💙 HN @olatheschools #OPSMakeTodayCount
