Happy MLK Day. What is your dream?
Congratulations to Ms. Horkey, our very own SFSD All Star!
Ms. Horkey was nominated for this award by Ms. Erickson who shared how much of a giver she is within the walls of Patrick Henry. Ms. Erickson went on to say, "She gives her time in so many different areas such as Student Council advisee, Sunshine Committee co-leader, PBIS committee member, and scheduling committee member. Through all of these different committees that she is a part of, she continues to show up each and every day for her students with a smile on her face. She is pursuing her degree in Administrative Leadership through Wayne State while balancing everything else thrown her way in the middle school world. Ms. Horkey has a heart for teaching and does it with so much passion and desire to be and do the best for each and every one of her students."
Congratulations!

Next week's Athletic Schedule
SFSD schools start 2-hrs late Thursday, January 5, 2023.
Due to the amount of snow that fell with this winter storm and the time it will take for plows to get into residential neighborhoods, there will be No School, no practices and no activities tomorrow – Wednesday, January 4, 2023. District and school offices will be open.
In addition to there being NO SCHOOL today, an update now includes that SFSD Offices will also be closed on Tuesday, Jan 3, 2023.
Patrick Henry staff and students were able to get into the spirit of giving this holiday season!
We are so grateful for the time we have been able to spend with students, the time we will get to spend with family and the joy of seeing you all again in 2023!
Take care and stay warm!
Some students were able to enjoy decorating “ugly sweater” cookies this week with special guest, Ms. Wilsey!
We were blown away with the success of the Giving Group Fundraiser! Even on a 2-Hour Late Start Day, Patrick Henry showed up to purchase Candy Canes, Gum, Hostess treats and chips! The Group raised $732.00! Students were able to shop online and purchase 30 gifts that were donated to the Salvation Army Angel Tree! It feels good to give!
