Dance Camp was Groovy
Dance camp was held January 14th. They had around 50 girls in grades Pre- K through 6th grade participate. The theme was Grease and as you can see from the pictures, they had a lot of fun. They ended the night with a performance for parents at half time of the Boy’s Basketball Game. Dance team captain, Taylor Thalman, said the girl’s really seemed to enjoy the dances to song such as “Beauty School Dropout”, “Summer Night”, and “We Go Together.” Thank you to the Dance Team members, Taylor Thalman, Molly Shannon, Nicole Swanson, Lizzie Namuth, Olivia Evans, Autumn Kestel, Hailey Greenwell, Bailey Bannister and Ashley Thalman and their sponsor Ali Romans.

New Homeroom Tradition
Mr. Humphrey’s homeroom is starting a new tradition, food day once a month. To kick off the first food day of the new year, many treats were brought by all, but the highlight of the morning was Westin Nottleman’s pancakes. She came prepared with a griddle and all the pancake fixings. She even took the time to coordinate her outfit with an apron and a Chef Westin hat. Several ideas were kicked around for starting new traditions for the new year, but the freshman homeroom settled on a food day once month, and the new tradition was a delicious success!

HAL Art Show
Elementary HAL Art Show
The Language Art HAL students had the opportunity to present their art to the school. Each art exhibit had to include a minimum of 4 pieces of art with display cards that explained their logic or reasoning of what they created. The mediums included sculptures, acrylic, watercolor, electronic art, music, pencil, and collages. On each individuals exhibit was a brochure that they created. The brochures included an autobiography, two features artists, and their favorite medium. I am very proud of the effort and hard work that each student put into their project. All of the students from the Elementary were able to come in and critique each art exhibit as well, everyone involved enjoyed the show!
