October 14 PTO Meeting to Feature
Speaker: HES parent Cindy Potter!
The next PTO meeting, on Wednesday, October 14 at 7:00 p.m., will include the special presentation, “ FOOD FOR MOOD.” Wouldn’t it be great to have clear thinking, good moods, and lots of energy, every day-and to be free of cravings and manage our weight? Cindy Potter, a nutrition and wellness counselor, will explore simple dietary and lifestyle changes to achieve these goals and create balance in our lives, including simple meal and snack ideas to transition family members to a healthful diet-the same ones that have worked for Cindy’s family! As always, p arents are part of the PTO family, and are encouraged to attend meetings. We look forward to seeing you there for this excellent discussion.

New PTO Fundraiser!
The HES

water bottles, and ornaments, among
others. Order forms with a sample of
your child's artwork will be sent
home in early November. For
