Attention NHHS Girls: Check it out & jump on board - GO CHICKASAWS!
Let's show our support for the Chickasaws on Friday, November 22 for Meet the Team Night.
The Spanish III classes explored more about El Día de los Muertos as our PBL for this semester. The students then created memory boxes remembering a special person or pet in their lives. The community outreach was subtle, but touching by the conversations some of the students had with family members who were able to share stories about someone important in their lives. Connecting with each other and learning from each other in meaningful ways honors those we remember. Great job students and family!
More pictures from the seventh grade field trip today. Students enjoyed time spent with one another.

Fifth graders are testing liquids for glucose in science class.
After reading an article about voting in 8th Grade Literacy, one student suggested they should hold an election for a block president. After a short campaign the following students were elected: Mason Phillips in Block 1, Cade Orr in Block 2, and Coralie Bruess in Block 3. What a fun idea and great way to celebrate Election Day!
The past week, the high school ELL students, along with Ms. Keifer, the high school ELL teacher, have been making an altar in the ELL classroom for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This is typically celebrated in Mexico (and some other countries) on the 1st and 2nd of November as a day to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away. Students spent time making paper marigolds, papel picado (punched paper) and bringing in fruit, bread, and many photos of loved ones.
All components of the altar serve a certain purpose, but ultimately, it is all present to welcome loved ones to spend time with them again.
After finishing the altar, we also invited all of the Spanish classes to come check it out as they also had a small unit about Dia de los Muertos in their classes.
La semana pasada, los estudiantes de ELL de la escuela secundaria, junto con la Sra. Keifer, la maestra de ELL de la escuela secundaria, han estado haciendo un altar en el aula de ELL para el Día de los Muertos. Esto se celebra típicamente en México (y algunos otros países) el 1 y 2 de noviembre como un día para recordar y honrar a los seres queridos que han fallecido. Los estudiantes pasaron tiempo haciendo caléndulas de papel, papel picado y trayendo fruta, pan y muchas fotos de seres queridos.
Todos los componentes del altar tienen un propósito determinado, pero en última instancia, todos están presentes para dar la bienvenida a los seres queridos para que pasen tiempo con ellos nuevamente.
Después de terminar el altar, también invitamos a todas las clases de español a que vinieran a verlo, ya que también tenían una pequeña unidad sobre el Día de los Muertos en sus clases.
