NBHS Career Day - Wednesday, November 6th

NBHS Career Day was on November 6. Ms.Gray, our Career Day Coordninator did an outstanding job organizing and plannign all of the events! Our Keynote Speaker was Garrett LeVault. His message focused on taming technology to reach your goals. It was a great message for students and for adults! I have included his slide from his presentation on 10 Simple Ideas to Limit Technology as a great resource as a reminder of the things he presented.

We would like to thank all of our guest presenters for sharing their time and expertise with our students!

NBHS Community Outreach Day - Thursday, November 7th

On November 7th, our high school students and staff served our surrounding communities and school through a first-time ever Community Outreach Day. Our Pretzels went above and beyond!! Over 400 PBJ sandwiches were made and delivered to Washington Street Mission! We would like to thank everyone for the generous donations this week of bread, jelly, peanut butter, and baggies to make this possible. Groups of students and staff went to NB, Berlin, Loami, and Centennial Parks to clean up. We had students and staff help at the Loami Food Pantry, CACC and surrounding areas, we also helped some individual community members with yard and other cleaning duties. AND we packed up the majority of our classrooms so we are ready for the big move at the end of the semester. It was an exhausting yet extremely rewarding day to be a Pretzel!

Spanish and Art Collaboration Project for Dia de los Muertos

This is the 14th year of doing the Art and Spanish Collaboration project for Día de los Muertos! Ms. Kennedy and Ms. Delai's classes had a great time painting canvases dedicated to a loved one, pet or celebrity. So happy that we are keeping this tradition alive, and we are excited that the next one will be in the new building!

Spanish III and IV Projects

Ms. Kennedy's Spanish III class did their annual Skeleton Project for Day of the Dead. They had to research a famous dead person or character, decorate a skeleton depicting that person/character and present in Spanish using the past tense to describe why he/she was famous and why they chose him/her to investigate. Here are a few of the pictures of Iron Man, Bruce Lee, Lebron James and Dumbledore.

Spanish IV class did a new project this year. They chose a famous living celebrity to investigate, and they created an Ofrenda in their honor. Then they presented in Spanish using hypotheticals such as "If Kim Kardashian was no longer living, I would put cheesecake on her ofrenda because it's her favorite dessert." Here are a few for Kim Kardashian, Rudy (the football player from Notre Dame), Tyler the Creator and Adele.
