Important Dates to Remember
Heritage Academy’s mission statement:We are dedicated to youth, their growth and development, and believe in building sound character through strong families, strong communities, and a strong nation.
While teaching the academic disciplines, Heritage Academy is dedicated to instilling into the minds and hearts of our youth knowledge of and respect for the ideals and values of the great men and women of history, including those who founded the American nation.
As they gain an appreciation of these people of accomplishment, they will be ready to provide the selfless service to their fellow citizens and to their country which will be required in the coming years to assist in restoring America’s greatness.
Heritage Academy exists to this end.
A NOTE FROM Mrs. Udall:
THIS MONTHS PILLER: KNOWLEDGE
It’s been a great month to discuss more about KNOWLEDGE – and the power of information during citizenship! Each member of our citizenship class taught something to us, every day this month. This week Taylor Carlson (pictured left) taught us how to speed paint with glitter. It was literally amazing. Felt like a magic show. Can you believe how great A. Lincoln turned out??? Mrs. Alston
