If you were watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, you may have caught sight of several students representing the New Hampton Dance Team! Kaycee Howe, Kayla Walter and Brittney Bluhm were chosen at a summer camp to perform in the parade and spend a week in New York City. What a great experience- we are so proud! Several dancers will also be performing at the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day in Orlando.
On Thursday, the NHDT competed in State Dance Competition at Wells Fargo and HyVee Hall in Des Moines. The dancers were a part of the Pom and Hip Hop competitions. The team was also able to attend the second day of competition to watch large schools and colleges compete as well as talk to post-secondary recruitment counselors and coaches about opportunities to dance past high school. Great job, ladies!
Foods 1 Classes Serve Staff
Immediately before Thanksgiving Break, Foods 1 classes planned and created a Thanksgiving meal and invited staff members to attend. Each cooking group was allowed to invite one staff member and the staff were served a full meal during the class time. Mrs. Schmitt has organized the classes to also include etiquette, which was evident in the place setting and manners displayed by students. Staff certainly hopes to continue to be invited to be taste-testers!
Happy Holidays!
As we move through the holiday season, students at the high school are juggling many balls. Please be aware as you and you families gather and celebrate that students may be focusing on:
1. Upcoming finals
2. Opening Winter sport seasons
3. End of grading period
4. Beginning second semester
Holidays are wonderful but also carry much stress. It is ok to talk to your students about any stress they may be carrying and look for further assistance if needed. Please do not hesitate to call the office to speak to support staff about any concerns you have about your student(s) and time of the year.
As we move quickly through the next month, may you be able to spend time with your families and have some much needed down time.
Happiest of holidays from my family to yours-- we are already working on the traditions we celebrate.
