Hello Parents and Guardians of Herndon Magnet School Students, this is Tom Thomas, Principal of Herndon Magnet School with some congratulations and other information.
• Congratulations to 7th grader Ava McLendon for placing 5th in the Red River Desk and Derrick Club essay contest. Ava won $50.00, and Mrs. Katie Barr, Ava’s ELA teacher who submitted the essay, was awarded $50.00.
• We want to wish the best to Kenzie Bailey, Kaira Brown, Maggie Chiles, and Areanna Lynch, and their choir director, Ms. Arnese Brass, as they travel to New Orleans tomorrow to represent Herndon and Caddo Parish in the Louisiana American Choir Directors Association Honor Choir.
• Congratulations to Ms. La Tonya Jackson, Herndon’s Art Teacher, for her art piece submission to the 2022 Red River Revel. The artwork that she submitted was the “School Art Winner.” This piece will be displayed in the auditorium at Family Fun Night.
• Middle school students who are staying after school tomorrow to help a teacher for Family Fun Night must have permission from their teacher and a signed note from a parent giving permission to stay.
• Family Fun Night is tomorrow from 5 – 8 PM. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have Bingo because the state did not get the PTSA the gaming license that is needed to have Bingo on school property. We will have a Bingo night at a later date this school year.
• Congratulations to Mrs. Lee Harrison and Herndon’s 4H. Currently, Herndon has the largest 4H in Caddo Parish. Tomorrow and Friday are the last days to donate warm weather clothing and accessories for the October 4H service project! Donations will be picked up Friday, October 28.
• The third round of the PTSA Spirit Store is now open through Sports World. More information will be sent home soon.
• Please visit Herndon’s website at herndonmagnet.caddoschools.org or the Herndon Facebook page for additional information about upcoming activities and events.
