Message from Ms. Hampton, 8/23

Bulldog Families,

Just a couple of updates for the end of the second week…we will start with some good news!

First, our students were provided a treat today at lunch compliments of HISD as Heights was one of the high growth campuses on STAAR EOC.  Second, I was notified today that transportation for our band to attend football games will be funded through the district so all band members and cheerleaders will be able to attend all football games!  We are extremely grateful that the fine arts department will be able to take care of this expense!................
