A special guest visited the preschool classrooms on Jan. 16 to demonstrate how to use a sewing machine as part of their unit study on clothing. The special guest is Megan Mein, FACS teacher at the high school and parent of one of the preschoolers. The students learned about how the sewing machine works as Mrs. Mein finished off a homemade apron for each session. Thank you Mrs. Mein for a great presentation and thoughtful gift for the classroom! #growinglearners

Did you know that HHS now has a competing E-Sports League? Which is a highly competitive video game competition league. Dylan Felpel has won his first match in the game “Hearthstone.” Holden Coffman, Kayland Alexander, Joseph Pavich, and Jameson Davis have also won their first match in “Rocket League.” Others competing are Craig Rutschman, Victor Sanchez, and Brett Coupe in “Fortnite.”
Mr. Hirsch is coaching this terrific new “sport.” Colleges have even contacted our members with interest!

Miss Fegan’s first grade class presented thank you cards to our wonderful secretaries because of all the help that they provide. Mrs. Hilliard (substituting for Mrs. Staatz) and Mrs. Floyd are so deserving! #growinglearners
Mrs. Beames’ fifth grade students working hard on understanding the author’s point of view this afternoon! #growinglearners
A favorite activity in Mrs. Gutsch's third grade is MARSH-iplication. Using marshmallows, fruit loops, and toothpicks, students practice making models of equal groups. They then determine the repeated addition equation as well as the multiplication statement. This is a fun way to begin learning multiplication facts. The best part is eating the models when finished! #growinglearners
McKenzie Shippy submitted a video for a scholarship. Good work McKenzie. You have taken lots of opportunities to put yourself ahead of the game! Best of Luck!
