Congratulations to some of our Henry Alumni and current seniors for being awarded the Edward Schwab Scholarship towards their 26-27 post secondary education in the amount of $7,240! The Recipients are: Alyssa Anderson, Natasha Huppler, Dylan Jensen, Collin Fuller, Shylynn Hansen, Aubrie Hartley, Caylin Kelly, Gannon Mohr, Brooklyn Simonton, Taylor Watson, & Trinity Watson.
A little background about the Edward Schwab Scholarship was that it was created to honor a man who was very attracted to eastern SD. Mr. Schwab was from Illinois, but came to hunt every year and eventually purchased land in the area. Since his death, the profits from the farmland each year help to provide substantial scholarships to students in the five school districts that he has purchased; Clark, Florence, Hamlin, Henry and Willow Lake. This scholarship has been awarded each year since 1998.

The Easter Bunny’s assistant made a special appearance at Henry School! 🐰✨
Students loved meeting Stitch and learning about different types of rabbits and their unique fur. Stitch is a Mini Rex, known for her soft “rex” fur! She even showed off a few fun tricks—like spinning in a circle—and shared that she loves carrots and special treats. 🥕
Students also learned how to be gentle and quiet around animals and discovered how much care and responsibility goes into taking care of a pet.
We wish our school community a happy and safe Easter! 🌷🐣

3rd- 8th grade Henry students will begin State Testing on Monday, March 30th. Testing will take place each morning until lunchtime, so your support at home will make a huge difference in how our students perform. This test is incredibly important. It is the one assessment that the state uses to evaluate our school and issue our district's report card. The results will be sent to you by the beginning of June. It reflects the hard work your child and our staff have put in all year long! Please encourage your child to take their time, read carefully, and give their absolute BEST effort.
Getting a good night sleep, an adequate breakfast, being to school on time, and having a prep talk support at home can all help your child with doing their best! Snacks will be provided by the school. Students are also allowed to bring their own wired headphones if they choose. If not, the school will provide those as well.
