New Hampton Community Schools will be hosting a community night focused on mental health. This presentation will be put on by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and will include information on recognizing signs/symptoms of mental health challenges along with where/how to get help. Middle and high school staff received this presentation already, and 8th, 11th, and 12th graders will be hearing it in their classes as well! Please join us as we come together to end the silence and talk about stopping the stigma of mental health.

Thank you to Emily Manweiler, New Hampton senior and 69th Iowa Dairy Princess alternate, for coming to speak to the fourth graders about dairy cows and providing us with great information!!.



Thank you Decorah Walmart for a small $30.00 grant! We were able to buy culinary items that we needed. The students love the gadget for cooking hamburger meat and cutting them into smaller pieces.

Thank you to everyone who made our strawberry fundraiser a huge success. We sold 225 flats of strawberries and made $2,574.00; which we will save to put towards two new ovens for our classroom. I plan on doing this again next year as the strawberries were delicious. I made strawberry jam and fresh strawberry pies and shared them at school.

The 4th graders did a fantastic job at the science fair today! A special shoutout to our five finalists: Grayson, Anthony, Kipp, Dempsey, and Ryan (who also earned second place overall). We also had an honorable mention winner, Willow. Great work to all 16 of the 4th graders who attended
