I would like to thank and recognize all of our past and current veterans, today and everyday. Today the high school leadership class will hold its annual Veterans Day Assembly. The day will start with a light breakfast for Veterans and their families followed by a wonderful program honoring their service to our great country.
On Tuesday evening our community voted to reelect current board members Stacy Pasini, Marcus Wilcox, and Mike Yenshaw and to elect Courtney Tarara to the Board of Education. I am grateful for our returning Board members’ continued commitment to serving Howell Public Schools and for Courtney’s desire to serve our community. While they were not elected, I would like to thank Leslie Bohnett, Colleen Ontko, and Mitchell Zajac for their willingness to serve on the Board of Education.
Recently I attended the “Taste of Voyager,” an event put on my Mrs. Sharon Barlow’s class to celebrate the completion of their Delicious Drink Recipe project. Using project based learning, students in Mrs. Barlow’s first-grade class at Voyager Elementary completed research and conducted taste tests to create a new drink recipe and develop an explanatory paper on how to make their drink. The project combined many academic areas such as math, reading and science and allowed students to see how that they are learning today will be using in the real world. In addition, our students in the culinary program at HHS partnered with these students to help them with their project.
Last week the Parker Middle School Choirs held their annual Madrigal Dinner. A Madrigal Dinner is a modern day recreation of the Renaissance feasts held in the Middle Ages. The evening featured great food prepared by students in the high school’s culinary arts program and entertainment provided by the middle school students.We had a number of staff and community members attend. The kids do an amazing job with this authentic experience. Next weekend the Howell High School Performing Arts Department will present “Disney’s High School Musical.” For more information, please visit https://goo.gl/L1cQbw
Have a wonderful weekend!
