Fall Play/Looking at Furniture

Fall Play

The Fall play, Donovan's Daughters was performed last week to a full house both nights as well as a matinee for middle school students. Through weeks of hard work, students showed their growth together as a group and individually as part of the drama program.  This was Ms. Konecne's first directing appearance at NHHS and she was able to use former directors and other school staff to put together a great performance.

Participating in extracurriculars, including drama, continues the work toward our 4 Cs of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. The extension of the learning and growth in classrooms is evident in the final public product that goes beyond any assessment on paper.

 Looking at Furniture

As we get closer to having our new 5-8 middle school addition done, we are working on the details for the inside of the building. Last week I was able to go with a group of students who will be working on common area furniture to look at some options.  We were given the opportunity to look at and try out some furniture for use in the student commons and collaborative work area.  We will continue to meet as a group to write a proposal for the board in January of furniture we recommend.  What better way is there to know what students need than to ask them?
