Heritage School is blessed to have an active construction site on our school campus. Construction equals growth! Heritage School is making every effort to create a safe environment for our families during this phase. However, we need your assistance to maintain the safety of our students. While on campus, after school hours, please have direct supervision with your students.

3rd Graders Challenge Heritage School...
Hungry to Help! September is National Hunger Awareness Month. Heritage 3rd graders invite you to be “Hungry to Help” and halt the spread of hunger in Fredericksburg by bringing food to the school for our local Food Pantry Social Services. You may begin bringing the food now and throughout the month of September and place it in the boxes provided. Our school goal is to collect 1000 pounds! In order to do that, we need your help. Canned meat and soups are good things to bring as well as canned juice and instant cereals or nutrition bars. While you are buying, think about Box Top items so you earn bonus box top points in coupons for our school. You can find a long list of products on the Box Tops website. There are many that the Food Pantry could use – Bisquick, Gold Medal Flour, Cheerios, Total, Hamburger Helper, Progresso soups, Welch’s jellies, Cottonelle products and much more!
