HES first graders give special thanks to The Birmingham Children's Theatre for awarding us a grant to have their crew present 'Big Sister, Little Brother' to us. It was AWESOME! We learned about the importance of telling the truth, treating one another with kindness, and apologizing when we make a mistake. We had fun and are so grateful for their generosity.
