Hornet Buzz- Week of November 9, 2026

Dear Hornet Families,

As we head into another week at Hernando Elementary, we have an important day coming up that gives us all an opportunity to pause, reflect, and show our gratitude. Wednesday, November 11, is Veterans Day, and there will be no school for students or staff as we take time to recognize and honor the brave men and women who have served in our nation's military.

Veterans Day is more than just a day off from school. It is a time to recognize the courage, dedication, and sacrifices of the individuals who have served our country to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Many of our students have veterans within their own families, and I encourage you to take a few moments to talk with your children about what it means to serve, why we celebrate Veterans Day, and how we can show appreciation to those who have served.

To all of our HES families, staff members, and community members who have served in the armed forces, thank you for your service. We are grateful for you, and we are proud to recognize the heroes who are part of our Hornet family!

As a reminder, there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.

With Hornet Pride,

Jerrica Alligood

 Principal
