National FFA Week is an opportunity for FFA members, alumni and sponsors to advocate for agricultural education and FFA. It's a time to share with local, state and national audiences what FFA is and the impact it has on members every day.

4th Grade students worked on their PBL (Project-Based Learning) project creating an invention to help solve a problem that "bugs them". Due to COVID-19 restrictions, parents were not allowed to our invention gallery walk, on February 17. We created a slideshow to showcase all of the awesome 4th-grade inventions that were created! A big thank-you to the families of these students for helping and supporting this project.

Great job New Hampton Dance team on your Showcase Night. Great to see everyone having fun and interacting with the crowd!



Mrs. Schmitt's Advanced Foods Class had a pizza lab at the end of their pizza unit. They made a Chicago deep dish, chicken fettuccine with spinach, a vegetable loaded pizza including banana peppers and a stuffed crust pepperoni. They were all delicious! The students learned about the history of pizza, vocabulary, origin of ingredients around the world and more. Next year Mrs. Schmitt (FCS teacher) will be offering new classes including Baking and Food Production. The students plan on creating a Tribe Pizza business for the community to purchase homemade pizzas and take-and-bake food. It will be entrepreneurship at its finest!





Mr. Rude has brought in some of his podcasting equipment to set up a makeshift recording studio. His and Mrs. ten Hoeve's students will be recording some of their speeches that were given during last month's speech project. We'll have them available for you to see in a few weeks!
