ANNOUNCEMENTS
Student Craft Fair - November 4-5: Come and shop the craft fair to support our young entrepreneurs!
Service Opportunity: Little Angels in Need is collecting donations for an event for teen moms. If you have any gently used clothing, diapers, toys, or books, we will have a red box set up this week across from the free curriculum table. They mostly need sizes 0-5T, but will take any youth sizes.
Appreciation Week - November 11-12: We set aside a special time each semester to show appreciation to those who serve HCHE so faithfully. Is there a Teacher, Vital Partner, Staff Member, NLC Hospitality Staff member or another parent who has made your time here especially meaningful? Here’s your chance to let them know with a note of thanks, a homemade treat or any “special something.”
Registration Volunteers: Applications to volunteer for Spring 2026 registration have been collected; however, if you would still like to improve your registration appointment time, be sure to reach out to our Registration Volunteer Coordinator HERE to request to put on the wait list.
Teachers - We Need You! We are currently putting together our class schedule for Spring 2026. We are seeking teachers for all age groups. Perhaps you would like to share your hobby or special interest with our children? No teaching degree required, only a heart to serve! Please contact our Class Director HERE for more information.
Spring 2026 Registration Appointment Requests: The link to request a registration appointment will open Friday, November 14th at 8:00am on your family portal under the NEWS button. Registration volunteers do not need to request an appointment but will automatically receive an appointment time.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide you with a registration appointment if you have an outstanding balance with us. If you have questions about your family statement, please email financemanager@hche.org.
