CONGRATULATIONS TO JENNA PINTO who was awarded the “Star of the Month” by the John Lynch Foundation. This is a prestigious honor rewarding athletes who excel in athletics, academics and community service. Congratulations also to our head football coach, Mike Griebel, who was awarded the “Coach of the Month” by the John Lynch Foundation.

PICTURE RETAKES: The photographer will return to Heritage on Tuesday, October 25, to do picture packet retakes. In order to have your picture re-taken by the photographer, you will need to bring the original picture packet back. This is truly the last time you will have to do pictures this year. Students should plan ahead and remember to stop by the Student Center between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. If a student is new to our school, they should also stop by and have their photo ID’s done as well. Remember a photo ID is required to attend the homecoming dance on Saturday, October 29, 2011.

GRADUATING SENIORS: If you don’t have a copy of your birth certificate in your school file, your diploma will be printed as is shown in Infinite Campus. A diploma is a legal document and your name must be the same as the birth certificate. If the diploma is printed incorrectly, Herff Jones will charge a fee to print a corrected one. If you would like to confirm that you have one, please come to Mr. Wells’ office and check with Kerry Ficklin.

ATTENTION ALL SENIORS: Want to win a scholarship for college? How about a gift card from IKEA to decorate your dorm room? CollegeInColorado.org is giving out $1000 scholarships and gift cards to IKEA every Friday in October! In addition, they are setting a weekly goal for each senior during College Application Month. This week’s goal: “Narrow down your college options and connect careers to a program or major.” Go to www.ciccollgeappmonth.org to learn more or sign up to see your counselor to help you with this week’s goal, entering to win the scholarships, as well as your overall college planning!

ATTENTION JUNIORS AND SENIORS: Are you interested in taking spring semester classes at ACC that would count for both high school and college credit? We have a program called Concurrent Enrollment where LPS will pay the cost of tuition for up to 2 college classes as long as you earn a grade of C or better. See Mr. Powers in the Counseling Office right away if you are interested. The application materials must be completed and turned in by October 31st. See your counselor if you have more questions, and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity!

PLAN TEST: The PLAN test covers similar content and subject areas as the ACT, which juniors are required to take in April of their junior year. The PLAN test is open to freshman, sophomores and juniors. It will be given at HHS on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 8:00 to approximately 11:30 a.m. Registration will take place during lunch periods October 24 – November 4 across from the Counseling Office, and the fee is $20. Students who miss the deadline will be allowed to take the exam on a “test available” basis and pay an increased fee of $25. Only a certain number of tests have been ordered, so register early! Payment can be made by cash, or a check made payable to Heritage High School. Contact counselor Brian Powers at 303-347-7614 with questions.
