Tomorrow at Herrington, we’re going full ✨Throwback Thursday✨ mode 📼🎧

It’s time for Throwback Threads Day, so break out the flannel, denim jackets, scrunchies, windbreakers, overalls, neon, and all the 90s fashion chaos your closet can handle 😎

Whether your style says Saved by the Bell, mall food court superstar, or “I definitely owned this in 1997,” we can’t wait to see everyone’s retro looks.

Let’s celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week in true 90s style because this staff is all that and a bag of chips 💜

We’re keeping the 90s vibes rolling… and tomorrow is “Totally Treatin’ You Right” day 🍭✨

Time to show our amazing teachers some love with a sweet treat or small gift. Think candy, cookies, or a little something thoughtful to brighten their day 💜

Whether it’s homemade goodness or a store-bought favorite, it’s the kind of gesture that says, “You’re all that!” in the best way possible.

Let’s keep the appreciation going strong and make tomorrow totally sweet 😎🍬

Plot twist… we’re rewinding the mixtape 🎧✨

Tomorrow is “Saved by the Teachers” Day! 💌

Let’s shower our amazing teachers with the kind of appreciation that never goes out of style. Students are encouraged to write a note, draw a picture, or create something special to say thank you. Bright colors, big hearts, and all the creativity are welcome 🎨

Whether it’s a masterpiece or a simple “you’re the best,” these little moments mean the world to our teachers and remind them just how much they’re appreciated every single day.

Let’s make it a day full of smiles, gratitude, and maybe a few fridge-worthy works of art 💜

📣✨ Herrington PTA Membership (Elections) Meeting ✨📣

This isn’t just any meeting… it’s where next year’s leadership takes flight. 🦅

🗓 April 28, 2026
⏰ 6:30 – 7:30 PM
📍 Herrington Cafeteria

Join us for our elections meeting, where we’ll be voting in the 2026–2027 PTA Board. Have a passion for making a difference? Bring it with you—anyone is welcome to run for an officer position from the floor!

Whether you’re ready to lead or just want to stay in the loop, this is your moment to be part of shaping what’s next for Herrington.

See you there!

Teacher Appreciation Week is next week, from Monday, May 4, to Friday, May 8. The Herrington PTA is ready to make our teachers feel appreciated for all their hard work and the difference they make in students' lives.

This year, we're taking it back to the 90s, the era of MTV, video cassette tapes, and malls. We are stocking the staff room with a week's worth of drinks, snacks, candy, and treats, to keep our amazing teachers powered up through every lesson, lunch duty, and copier jam. Think less "dial-up" tone and more "snack attack."

You can send in your choice of store-bought snacks, order from our Amazon list, or donate through our store link, and the PTA will shop for the staff's favorite goodies.
