Theatre this year has been quite a bit different, but that didn't stop us from overcoming the challenges to put on two wonderful performances. We opted to do two one-act plays so that we could keep students involved but also limit the number of people together at the same time. We had some people who ended up in quarantine, so there were some last-minute substitutions, but that didn't stop these students from stepping up and putting their heart and soul into both performances. We were able to have two small in-person performances back in November, we were able to videotape them, and now we can share them with you. The director apologized for the tardiness of the release of these links. However, She is a firm believer in better late than never, and that theatre never goes out of style. Without further ado, she hope you enjoy watching the New Hampton Drama Department perform "Once Upon a Zoom" by Edith Weiss, and "You Are Virtually Driving Me Crazy" by Todd Wallinger. https://youtu.be/xRXDAn78BNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUg1FnehMlA&feature=youtu.be

Miss Good's kindergarten class spread kindness by donating items and money to Chickasaw County's S.N.A.P. Program. Mrs. Matthews and her dog, Jack, delivered the donations to the dogs that are looking for their "furever" homes!

Eighth grader Dylan Carter from New Hampton Middle School has earned first place in the North Central Association of School for the Blind (NCASB) live, virtual forensics competition held in November. Dylan and seven of his teammates earned scores on the performances which landed Iowa Educational Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired (IESBVI) first place of the 10 participating schools. Dylan prepared and performed an 8-minute humorous interpretation piece. The storyline was a wrestling match, where a boy had to wrestle against a girl, for whom he had romantic feelings. As neither opponent was excited about wrestling one another, they had mutually decided in advance to enter the mat dressed as cavemen and engage in theatrical wrestling until both athletes were “knocked out.” “The preparation for forensics was really good,” said Dylan. “My confidence went up as I practiced, and I practiced a lot to memorize my speech. I spoke loud enough for the judges to hear me- even when you are nervous you need to speak loudly enough in front of an audience.”2 “Dylan is new to any form of speech presentation,” said IESBVI forensics coach Sheryl Thomsen. “He was extremely eager and worked hard. He memorized his piece early and worked on adding movement with different voices. I hope this experience has provided him some newfound confidence in his abilities.” Dylan worked with IESBVI teacher of the visually impaired Ashley Dougherty as well as Thomsen to prepare for the competition.

Attention New Hampton Parents and Community: The following link will allow you to view our TK-4th NH Elementary Winter Concert of 2020. This link will be open for viewing from today until January 18th, 2021, and then sharing settings will be turned off due to copyright laws. Our students worked hard this year to put a performance together and are so glad we can share it with you. Students have not seen their performance so they can "unwrap" this gift of music with you over Winter Break. Many are looking forward to seeing other grade levels as well. Link is here ---------> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sPDUxCXDBBWMEBmrWJM40PPjRF-0kCb6/view?usp=sharing Enjoy! Happy Holidays from the NH Elementary! Thank you to Mrs. Reetz for being creative and finding a way to make this work this year!

This fall, the students and teachers at New Hampton Elementary and Middle School were lucky enough to have classes in person. Jeff Monteith, K-12 Extended Learning Program (ELP) Teacher, is taking full advantage of his physical classroom by keeping his students busy with all sorts of fun and interactive activities for learning. One gadget that's a big hit in Mr. Monteith’s classroom is Unruly Splats. Splats are codable floor buttons that light up, make sounds, and collect points when they are stomped on. Students code the rules to create active games with the Splats app on their iPads and get the whole class on their feet by playing student-coded games like relay races and 4 corners. Mr. Monteith is having a blast challenging his students to expand their coding and problem-solving skills while having fun! Check out this video of his students doing a fitness circuit! https://vimeo.com/489447146 “My younger students are excited to use the splats as a game challenge and my older students are excited to write the programs and bring the games they envision to life,” said Mr. Monteith.
