New Hampton Community Schools

4th graders have been participating in a reading challenge for the month of October. Every ghost represents an hour of reading!

🖤Thank You to Our Amazing Sponsors! ❤️

A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors: NH Booster Club, Farm Bureau, First Citizens, Bank Iowa, O'Donnell Insurance, Community Insurance of Iowa, Fidelity Bank, Luana Savings Bank, Security State Bank, Joe Maloy Insurance, and Nosbisch Insurance for their generous support of this year’s student activity passes!

Because of your kindness and commitment to our community, all New Hampton students will receive an activity pass (arriving soon) for both the 2025–26 and 2026–27 school years! Your generosity helps every student experience the excitement, pride, and spirit of being a Chickasaw!

Our very own was honored on Thursday, October 23rd at Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) in Calmar. Mrs. April Schmitt (New Hampton's Family & Consumer Science Teacher) was inducted into the NICC Hall of Fame with a banquet, presentations, awards, and speeches. "It was quite the evening! I was fussed over and made to feel like a queen." said Schmitt. Schmitt started her academic journey at NICC and then went to Luther College (Bachelor's Degree), Viterbo University (Master's Degree), and ISU (FCS Endorsement). Schmitt's final words in her speech were, "Invest in our students; because they will change the world."

Unhealthy choices couldn’t find anyone at the elementary Wednesday. Camouflage had everyone focused on wellness.

Chris Schveiger from the Fayette County Sheriff's Department came to speak to our 7th and 8th grade students for Red Ribbon Week.

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!

The elementary will participate in Red Ribbon Week next week, 10/27-10/31. Red Ribbon Week is a nationwide prevention campaign focused on living a healthy lifestyle and avoiding things, like alcohol, tobacco, and other illicit drugs, that can cause harm to your body, and interfere with your lifelong goals and dreams. Students will learn about healthy choices, peer pressure, and the importance of setting goals. Part of our Red Ribbon Week activities will be daily dress days. Here's to Red Ribbon Week 2025! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AXndMMCBlFBJo37Tejzu9I0vXdAZmlbj/view?usp=drivesdk
