April is the Month of the Military Child. Please join us tomorrow at Hickory Elementary for Month of the Military Child Family Night. 🇺🇸
On Saturday, Indian River High School hosted Operation Military Families! Operation Military Families allowed for our district's military families to participate in information sessions and fun activities for students.
Throughout the evening, families were able to get complimentary family portraits taken by Lifetouch, enjoy performances by the U.S. Fleet Forces Band Woodwind Quartet, eat a pizza dinner and learn about resources offered to military families in our area.
Special thanks to Captain Matt Frauenzimmer for taking the time to speak to our families and the Office of Family and Community Engagement for continuing their commitment to serving our community.
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to three of the best around! HES is truly grateful for Robin Phillips, Charlene Brueggeman, and Kalley Fletcher. Thank you for all that you do for the staff, students, and community at Hickory Elementary!
