The Henning School performed a Lockdown Drill today that had students talking about scenarios and they practiced barricading classroom doors. We continue to work on school safety protocols to prepare our students for the "unthinkable." Please talk to your children and ask them questions about the drill - some students get emotional even when we clearly communicate we are practicing.
The Henning School will be dismissing students at 1:00 today (Friday, February 18) due to the poor weather. ALL Activities (High School & Elementary) are canceled for this evening.

Students in grades 5, 7, 8, 9, & 11 will be participating in the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) beginning the week of 2/22-3/4. An information letter has been sent home with each student, but we understand that sometimes materials get misplaced along the way. To make sure our families have access to the communication regarding the MSS to make an informed decision about their child's participation, we have linked the communication here:

Our preschoolers had a blast with pancake week! They made signs for their restaurant and pretended to be customers, cooks, and waiters. They also retold the story “If You Give a Pig a Pancake” and flipped pancakes while learning numbers through 15. Oh, and they ate pancakes in their pajamas to celebrate their fun fun week!

Mrs. Amundson's & Ms. Feda's Kindergarten classes had a great time celebrating the 100th Day of Kindergarten. Each student created a 100 collection and presented it to their classmates.
