One of the 21st Century Goals of New Hampton High School is collaboration. You do not have to look too far to see collaboration in every setting all day long. At NHHS, collaboration means:
- taking responsibility for oneself
- helping the team
- respecting others
- making and following agreements
- organizing work
- working as a whole team
Mrs. Schmitt's Foods 3 class is working with Phil at the Pinicon on prep work each week. They will be practicing authentic kitchen skills while helping his staff prepare for meals. They will be focusing on noon time work including a full meal for the Rotary Club in upcoming weeks.
In Spanish 3, students are working collaboratively in groups while analyzing Spanish language music. They are choosing which phrases are used and how they fit in the context of the music. Later in that lesson, the students worked together to create a scenario comparable to the music video and act it out using their new Spanish vocabulary.
Our custodial staff also demonstrated collaboration and modeled our values while staying late to complete the new stencil on the football field Thursday night. They worked more quickly and efficiently together that evening when they were able to focus on the task at hand while other items were handled during the day. Great job!
Students from across the district participated in the Giant Chicken Dance last Friday. The collaboration in addition to constant communication helped make this activity a success once again this year.
