Hendry Park Elementary

Hendry Park’s 1st and 2nd graders took the stage for a magical winter concert! Before the big performance, the other students enjoyed an exciting sneak peek. Frosty the Snowman joined in on the fun, while the sound of kazoos filled the air during the lively rendition of “Dashing Through the Snow.” It was a heartwarming celebration of the season, full of laughter, music, and festive spirit!

Students in the education pathway at AHS are excited to partner with K-2 students and teachers this week! They've been helping assess reading skills at our elementary schools. It's wonderful to see our youngest readers progressing and our oldest students getting work experience!

This morning, the gymnasium at Hendry Park Elementary buzzed with anticipation. Principal Mr. Stellhorn stood before the excited students, ready to introduce a very special guest: Mayor Dave Martin. Mayor Martin had come to recognize an outstanding achievement in creativity. Earlier in October, the mayor's office had launched an Angola Elementary Schools art contest, inviting local students to submit hand-drawn artwork for the official city Christmas card. It was a unique opportunity for young artists to showcase their talent and potentially see their work displayed throughout the community. After careful consideration, the mayor announced the winner: Chase Beer, a talented student from Hendry Park Elementary. Chase, the son of Jared and Cheryl Beer, had created a winning piece that captured the holiday spirit and impressed the selection committee. Additionally, a fellow Hendry Park student was honored as the runner-up, further highlighting the school's artistic talent. MSDSC is proud of the students’ creativity and thankful to the mayor's office for providing the opportunity. The event not only celebrated artistic achievement but also demonstrated the strong connection between the school and the local community.
