Happy March!
Wow! We are almost through the first quarter of the month! I am very
excited for what the next couple months has in store for all of our students
at Heritage. We have been diving into some amazing concepts including
dinosaurs, fossils, volcanoes and dinosaur habitats! It has been incredibly
rewarding to watch your children become so interested, engaged and also
capable of learning such an intricate concept!

Spring Photos Fundraiser
With Spring just around the corner, we are so
excited to take advantage of the almond
orchards and have our class and family photos
taken there! We had a phenomenal outcome
thanks to Tracee Littlepage with our Fall Photos
Fundraiser and were able to use the proceeds
for our classrooms!
We are wanting to fundraise enough money to
put back into our outdoor space. Any Spring
photo purchases will contribute to building our
play yard and interest areas!
Our fundraiser will include classroom photos
and family mini session in the orchards. Spaces
are limited as it is a first come, first serve! Signups for family mini sessions will be available in
the Office. For more information on our mini
sessions please refer to our Fundraiser email.

Heritage Yard Work Day
As the nice weather approaches us we are
wanting our families to help us in developing
our outdoor space during the summer. We have
so many wonderful goals and ideas for our play
yard, but in order to accomplish these ideas for
such a big yard we are wanting to include our
families in the process!
Areas we are wanting to expand on are: Mud
kitchen, garden area, bark (wooden fort) area
and so much more! We plan to schedule a
yard day during the month of June so that
all of our families can contribute and be a
part of the growth here at Heritage. We will
give more information as we get closer to
the Summer!
Dinosaur Exhibition Night
(Dino Night)
As we conclude our Dinosaur unit this
month we would like to invite our families to
come and visit the classrooms and see our
Dinosaur Exhibitions! This will give our
families the opportunity to see all the hard
work our students and teachers have done
over the course of this unit! This will also
allow our families to touch basis with
teachers and talk about the great things
that are happening inside and outside the
classrooms.
Each class will have an assigned day for
the event so that our families can
accommodate their schedules better. The
event will take place from 5:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m.
