Hello Parents and Guardians of Herndon Magnet School Students, this is Tom Thomas, Principal of Herndon Magnet School with Herndon Highlights for the week of November 14, 2022.
· I want to thank all the Grandparents that came out last week for Herndon’s Grandparent’s Days. I truly believe that we have the greatest grandparents!

· Second grade Discoveries will visit the Artifact Art Studio in Shreveport on Thursday, November 17.
· Yearbook Advertisements are on sale now on Local Level. Purchasing a business or 8th grade ad helps us keep the cost of our yearbook as low as possible. Yearbook ads are sold from November 1 - 30 only. K-7th students are not eligible to purchase a personal ad but may be included on Herndon business ads.
· NJHS is selling poinsettias that will be delivered the first week of December. Red, multi bloom, florist quality poinsettias may be ordered through Local Level or with an Honor Society member.
· We are so excited to participate in Pack the Pantry again this year. Student Council will be collecting canned goods and other non-perishable food items during the month of November for the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank. In addition, we will also offer students the opportunity to make a donation. With each dollar that we donate, the Food Bank can purchase $10 worth of food. Students who donate $5 will get to wear street clothes on November 16 and November 17. There will also be prizes for the homeroom classes that bring the most food donations by November 18. It is for a great cause, and 100% of the donations go to help people from Northwest Louisiana.
· PTSA Dress-Up Day is Tuesday, November 15 for those who paid on Local Level. Students may wear a Thanksgiving or Fall Themed Shirt or favorite football shirt/jersey with jeans.
· Pack the Pantry free dress days are November 16 and 17 for students who donated $5.00 for Pack the Pantry.
