WL. Henry 4th, 5th and 6th graders just celebrated completing 4 weeks of character development while snowboarding on Mt. Hood! Thanks to a generous grant and hard work from our AmeriCorp Volunteer, Kiska Kosakowski, 20 students received snowboarding lessons on Mt. Hood for free, while at the same time learning life skills that will carry into other areas of their lives. Thank you to the teachers that made lunches for the students, and all of those that volunteered at the McTeacher Night to provide funding for the buses!

WL Henry will be receiving $515 from our McDonalds McTeacher Night to help cover the cost for the snowboarding busses for our snowboarding team!

Thank you so much for the support from all, for sharing the information with your classes, for coming in with your families, and especially to those who donated an hour of their time!!! The event was a huge success, not only because of the money we raised but because it helped bring Henry families and staff together in a relaxed and fun environment!

Students in W.L. Henry's after school program, Prime Time, enjoy a choice of activities on Thursday to celebrate the hard work they put in during the rest of the week. Last Thursday, they were able to choose between a canoe engineering project, geometric art lesson, and soccer.

Los estudiantes en el programa Prime Time para después de la escuela, disfrutan una variedad de actividades el jueves, para celebrar todo lo que trabajaron durante la semana. El jueves pasado, ellos pudieron escoger entre un proyecto de ingeniería de una canoa, una lección de arte geométrico y fútbol.
 

 "Thursday Fun has been a key to the academic success of our students in the after school program", said Heather Harris, program coordinator. "Having an educational, but fun activity to look forward to keeps the students motivated during their math and reading lessons."

“Los jueves de diversión han sido una clave para éxito académico de nuestros estudiantes en el programa después de la escuela” comentó Heather Harris, coordinadora del programa. “Tener una actividad educativa y a la vez entretenida, mantiene a los estudiantes motivados durante sus lecciones de matemáticas y lectura.

This is Henry's second year of implementing the after school program. It will continue thoughout the 2011-2012 school year, serving nearly every child in the school not yet meeting the standards in math and reading.

 

Este es el segundo año en que Henry ha implementado el programa después de la escuela, que continuará durante el año escolar 2011-2012, sirviendo a casi todos los estudiantes en la escuela, que aún no cumplen con los estándares de matemáticas y lectura.

W. L Henry kindergartners traveled to Hillsboro High school last Wednesday for Ag Fest 2011. They had an upclose look at tractors, farm animals, and plants while learning about life on a farm. Ag students at Hilhi organized the field trip and invited  the Dairy Princess and guest students to talk  and read to the students. Kindergarten Teacher Judy Parmley said the students had a really wonderful time.  Just visiting the High School was an awesome experience for the future Sparts!

During the last few weeks, Henry 4th,5th, and 6th graders were visited by artists from Jackson Bottom as part of a grant-funded project that has students work towards the creation of a wetland field guide. Their job this time was to create an illustration of a wetland animal or plant cell for their journals. Eventually, these older students will be guiding younger Henry students through our backyard wetland habitat, Turner Creek.

WL Henry students have discovered on Thursdays that it pays off during the week to work hard on their reading and math skills in our After School Programs. This week, students were offered enrichment activities including a flight engineering lesson from a visiting Intel engineer, origami, computer time to prepare a presentation for a TAG book club, a pudding party, and soccer. The only problem was choosing which activity to attend!
