New Hampton Community Schools

Fayette County Sheriff’s Sgt Chris Schveiger joined our 7th and 8th graders for a conversation about decision making, cyber bullying, and drug awareness in support of Red Ribbon Week.

The elementary was a sea of red for Tuesdays Red Ribbon Week dress up day, Red-y to live drug free! Great job to everyone who supported and wore red.

Our Cake Unit has been a huge success! The students learned how to make a raspberry poke cake with homemade whipped cream, a layered cake with decorating icing, a cut-out cake (in the shape of a turtle), angel food cake, and Halloween cupcakes. The Angel Food Cake was the best tasting out of all of them! Of course they learned vocabulary, had a test, worksheets, and reading information out of the book

The elementary kicked off Red Ribbon Week WILD & WACKY! Students and staff came to school rocking their wackiest hair and attire. A super fun way to start Red Ribbon Week 2025!
