This week we wrapped up the first semester! Crazy to think we're half way done with the school year, but we're so thankful for everyone who made it a great one so far. Have a happy & safe winter break!! ⛄
What a great way to begin our Winter Break! Thank you to all of the individuals, churches, and businesses that made it possible to provide gift bags to all HWES students. Each student received shoes, a HWES hoodie, a hat and gloves, a board/card game, 2 on level books, a blanket, candy, and personal hygiene items. Our students and staff are grateful for the generosity of all who donated!
