Houston Lower Elementary School

Our Butterfly Garden at HLES may not have butterflies yet, but it is ready for Fall!! Mrs. Patti Pettit in Woodland helped us with decorations, and the students have loved seeing them through the windows in the cafeteria. Our students and Ms. Shalaura McKinney have also been working hard to get our planters filled up. We can't wait to see all the progress to come.

We are excited to be hosting our 2nd Annual Miss Merry Mistletoe Pageant on Thursday, December 10. Forms are being sent home, but you can also pick one up from Houston Lower Elementary or Houston Middle School.

High school students led a lesson in Mrs. Adams' kindergarten class on germs and the importance of washing our hands. #HLES #WhereLearningBegins

HLES PTO rescheduled to October 15th! Make plans to attend! Starts at 5:30!

Mrs. West's Reading classes got to read "Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun," and then they got to try it for themselves. I think they enjoyed it 😆

Mrs. Boatman's, Mrs. Griffin's, and Mrs. Pepper's first-grade classrooms got to celebrate with Mr. Potato, potato chips, and a dance party for having perfect attendance and filling in all of the pieces of their Mr. Potato Head! Congratulations! #HLES #WhereLearningBegins

Congratulations to our September students of the month. These students were chosen for showing the trait of compassion throughout the month of September! We are so proud of you all! #HLES #WhereLearningBegins

Congratulations to our September teacher of the month, Mrs. Jessica Fleming, and our staff of the month, Mrs. Caroline Alford. We focus on different traits each month, and September's focus was compassion. Thank you both for showing compassion to others and setting an example for our students to follow. #HLES #WhereLearningBegins

HLES would like to thank Coach Walters and some of our senior football players for taking the time to come speak to our tiny toppers and share what it truly means to be a leader. Your words, encouragement, and example showed our students that leadership is about making good choices, helping others, setting a positive example, and always doing what is right.

We are so thankful for the time you invested in our students and for the wonderful example you are setting for the next generation of leaders! 🏈💙

Happy National Custodians Day! 🧹💙
HLES has the BEST!

Mr. James, Ms. Maxine, Ms. Brittany, and Ms. Margaret,

Thank you for all you do to keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming every day! Your hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it never goes unnoticed. We truly appreciate your dedication, kindness, and everything you do for our students and staff.

We are so thankful for you! We hope you enjoy your goodies!🍎🏫

Also, thank you to our wonderful PTO for providing these goody bags for our custodians! We appreciate you!
