Our Hickman Elementary School Science Olympiad team came in 7th place out of 27 teams at Saturday's competition.  Congratulations to all of our budding scientists!  Thanks to all of the students, parents, and Mrs. Reynosa, the Science Olympiad coach, for all of your hard work!  

We have just received information from City Hall via Waterford Police Services that the bridge was inspected today and has been deemed safe for reopening.  We will need to wait for Stanislaus County workers to remove the barriers which should hopefully be by the end of the day or tomorrow.  If the barriers are removed by Monday, the Waterford bus run will resume.

Keep in mind that future river flows may warrant another closure. There is still much snow pack yet to come down the river this spring. 

 If the barriers are removed by Monday, the Waterford bus run will resume.



Acabamos de recibir información del Ayuntamiento a través de los servicios policiales de Waterford que el puente fue inspeccionado hoy y se ha considerado seguro para reabrir. Necesitaremos esperar a que los trabajadores del condado de Stanislaus eliminen las barreras que deberían ser al final del día o mañana. Tenga en cuenta que los flujos futuros del río pueden justificar otro cierre. Todavía hay mucho paquete de nieve todavía por venir el río esta primavera.


Si las barreras son removidas para el lunes, el recorrido del autobús de Waterford se reanudará.

The Hickman Elementary School fourth grade teachers, Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Thompson,  had their students write letters to veterans in November to thank them for their service to our country.  Mrs. Hudson took the letters and planned on giving them to the Stanilslaus County Veteran's Clinic in Modesto on Veterans' Day.  When she arrived at the clinic, a large ceremony was being held and Mrs. Hudson couldn't get into the clinic.  Mrs. Hudson then went to a nearby grocery store to do some shopping and just happened to see two vehichles in the store's parking lot that had veteran stickers on them.  She placed a letter on each of the vehicle's windshields and went about her business.

Today, a local Vietnam veteran, Frank Lopez, came to HES and showed the letter from one of our fourth graders to our office staff.  Mr. Lopez was so grateful to have received this letter on his truck windshield that he wanted to come to HES to thank the student.  Caden Bailey, the fourth grade writer of this letter, and his teacher, Ms. Thompson, (as well as his mom, Mrs. Bailey) were able to come to the front office to meet Mr. Lopez!  What a great experience for all!
