New Hampton Community Schools

New Hampton's FCCLA competed in Cedar Rapids at the Kirkwood Hotel for the Fall Leadership Rally. A very popular competition was the Grilled Cheese Challenge. Annabelle Baker and Wimry Jacobs competed individually in Level 2. There were four fall rallies and whoever won the Grilled Cheese Challenge from each leadership rally will go on to compete at the state level. Congratulations to Wimry Jacobs for placing 2nd place with grilled chicken, a variety of cheeses grilled to perfection. Wimry will be runner-up in case first place does not go to state. A huge congratulations to all of the students that placed, but also to all of the amazing FCCLA members. Mrs. Schmitt thinks you are a fabulous group. Thank you to the parents too for dropping off, picking up, and all that you do for your children

The Advanced Foods class has covered a lot during their beverage unit! Students learned all about coffee, teas, smoothies, cocoa, and various other drinks. Throughout the unit, they completed hands-on labs making fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemonade, Orange Julius, hot chocolate mix, and cocoa bombs, culminating in a smoothie competition and a Trendy Drink Challenge.

They did an amazing job with both their labs and classwork—hopefully, their test scores will follow suit! A huge thank you goes to Mrs. Glenn and Mr. Manson for stepping in to sub while Mrs. Schmitt was home sick. It truly takes a village to run a school!
