Last Week of School!!

The final three days of school are here! I hope this year was as enjoyable for you as it was for me.


Wishing you a fun, relaxing, and well-deserved summer break!


See you next school year!

Garden News

In case you haven’t been over to Pontiac Street in a while… the school garden is blooming with exciting updates! 

Eagle Scout candidate David Fang of Troop 222 orchestrated a workday last weekend to help restore some of the damage done by the storms last winter.  

New tables have been built, offering a perfect spot for outdoor learning and relaxation. Additionally, the birdhouse has been re-established, welcoming back our feathered friends and adding life and charm to the garden space. 

To keep the school garden thriving and beautiful, we’re asking for your support in maintaining this wonderful space. PTO has created a garden donation link on the school store that is accessible to the greater community. Click here to support the Garden!

Donations will go toward funding maintenance projects, restoration of the pond area, and ensuring the fences stay safe. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful impact. Thank you for helping us nurture both nature and learning!

PTO 2025/26!!!

We’re looking for parents who want to help out with PTO next year. Whether you have 30 minutes or a couple of hours each week, we’d love for you to join the PTO! Without volunteers, we won’t be able to host all the fun events we love at Herod.

Please fill out this quick survey. Once we gather responses, we’ll reach out to let you know which committees or chair positions are available for next year!
