There will be No morning weights or activities due to power outage.

Due to a power outage affecting the City of New Hampton, New Hampton Schools will be opening 2 hours late on Thursday, October 1.

The two classes of Foods One really kept Mrs. Schmitt hoping with 26 and 19 students making omelets at the same time! Mrs. Schmitt demonstrated how to make them before they began. They also watch two videos earlier in the week. This unit was to practice their new knife skills which they prepped the day before the lab. Hopefully the next lab will go a little smoother with having more time to clean up. The omelets did come out and the students said they were delicious!

Housing & Interior Design students display their A-frame and Greek Revival housing models. Exterior architecture is an in-depth unit with plenty of vocabulary and distinct housing styles to explore!
