Baking One Class made a double pie crust apple pie to take home for Thanksgiving! The students found out it takes practice to roll out homemade pie crust. Most chose to do a lattice top to their apple pie. Early in the semester the baking students made the apple pie filling, with free apples from Mrs. Schmitt's tree, and froze it. This week they just needed to make the pie dough, put the pie together and bake it. The FCS room smells wonderful while the pies are baking. The students also learned how to tell when the pie is done. They wrote a reflection piece in the form of a lab report about their experience. Happy Thanksgiving!

New Hampton's fourth graders enjoyed learning about nutrition using a hands-on lesson presented by Jessica Rochford, Ag in the Classroom. Each student made a nutrition bracelet to represent the daily servings needed for a balanced diet. The students also identified the different food groups using examples of school lunches. Thank you, Jessica, for the fun activity.

Today Mr Rude’s intervention tried a little engineering. Using only four sheets of paper they had to build the tallest freestanding tower they could. We're still in amazement how high the winning tower made it and how it didn't fall over during wind and shake tests!

December menu changes: Both breakfast and lunch on December 16th will switch with December 22nd and December 17th will switch with December 23rd. That way the ovens are not on at all on the 2 scheduled deep cleaning days of December 16th & 17th and the students will have the option for hot meals before the long Winter Break. These changes are for all 3 buildings. If you have any questions please reach out to Jodi Cerwinske, our Director of Food Service.

Mrs. Schmitt's Food Production Class put together "Recipes in a Bag" for the Chickasaw Pride Pantry. Their driving question for the Project-Based Learning was: How can we help reduce food insecurity? The students wanted to get more involved with the community. Mrs. Schmitt reached out to Jennifer Monteith who is a member of Rotary and the co-advisor for NHHS Interact Club with Tanya Scott. The Chickasaw Pride Pantry is operated by New Hampton Rotary and New Hampton High School Interact Club. Mrs. Schmitt shared their idea and the Rotary purchased the canned goods and Mrs. Schmitt donated the bags. The students put the bags together and the recipes on the outside. The three recipes were: Green Bean Casserole, Microwave Fruit Salad, and German Chocolate Cocoa Bars.

The "Recipes in a Bag" will be available in the New Hampton High School Pantry starting Monday, November 24th; just in time for Thanksgiving.

If you would like to donate money to purchase FOOD ONLY gift cards from Fareway please email Mrs. Schmitt at: a_schmitt@new-hampton.k12.ia.us and the group will make more recipes in a bag accompanied by gift cards to purchase fresh items.

This week is American Education week (November 17-21). We would like to send a special thanks each day to someone who makes a difference in education.


Today we say thank you to our Substitutes and Students. Our substitute teachers are there to help out when our teachers and staff have to be away. Your helping hand is a crucial element in keeping our school running smoothly. We also want to give a huge thank you to our students. We see our students doing great things every day, whether that’s mastering a new skill, pushing yourself to try something outside your comfort zone, or being a valuable team member to their peers. We have the BEST TRIBE there is, and we are so proud of all our students at New Hampton Schools!
