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 Teachers! Teachers wear many hats each and every day. Teachers are detectives as they find out what the students already know and what they need to know next. They are motivators, encouraging students to reach their potential. Teachers are management masters, as they organize both people and materials to make sure the day runs smoothly. They are mentors, as they help students guide student choices and build their character. They are communicators, making sure parents and teachers are a team in the student’s education. They are caretakers, as they help students through their highs and lows in life. We appreciate all the hard work and dedication from our teachers at New Hampton!

According to the Iowa Department of Education: "The Iowa Department of Education supports industry certification through its Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs by identifying and approving Industry-Recognized Credentials (IRCs) that align with career pathways ..."
Our very own students at New Hampton High School have achieved their IRC through ServSafe program and exam. The Foods I students (two sections) all achieved a Food Handler Certificate good for three years. This is recognized in the Food Industry as much needed training and taught by New Hampton's Family & Consumer Science teacher, Mrs. Schmitt. "The students are well-equipped to take an after-school job in the hospitality industry. This is a real-world valuable learning experience." The certificates were paid with Perkins' Grant money. Thank you, Mr. Manson for making this happen.
