HOMEWORK HEROES CLUB Please encourage your children to join our Homework Heroes Club. Not only can your children get their homework done at school, they can earn stickers and even prizes by doing their homework early in the day. This leaves them free to do more enjoyable things in the evening. Until the next newsletter, Kathy, Chris, Alejandra, and Nilda
