Spring Play - "Little Women" - Opens Tonight!
|
The cast of Hartford Union High School's upcoming production of "Little Women" has been hard at work since December to bring the American classic to the stage next month.
Director Terese Hummel said students are working hard both on stage and behind the scenes.
There's 27 students that will be on stage during the performance and there's about 12 who work on other parts of the production," Hummel said. "I chose this play for a number of reasons, one was because of the large number of female characters because we usually have many more females try out than males."
Hummel said she also likes to choose plays that have "historical significance and provide some intellectual insight."
"'Little Women' fits the bill," she said.

On Sunday, February 26, FBLA & DECA members were "Freezin for a Reason"! They then earned the opportunity to plunge into a cold pool of water outside at the Milwaukee County Zoo. The chapter raised $885 to donate to Special Olympics of Wisconsin. The outside air temperature was around 40 and the water wasn't much warmer, but everyone had fun!

As part of the Cohort Health curriculum, students are asked to develop a Mental Health Advocacy Project. As an added connection, Biology teachers discuss brain structure and function. Students investigated specific neurotransmitter functions/disruptions associated with their particular Mental Health Disorder. Students were given voice and choice in selecting their topic. Topics included: autism, PTSD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, and more. Students used a gallery walk style of sharing their projects with each other to gain feedback before their final products are due next week.

The STEM Bundle has been researching wind turbines. Today, given limited materials, they had to recreate a wind turbine, that would spin and create as much power as possible. They tested the power by seeing how fast they could lift a set amount of washers. Students only had the day to figure out and accomplish the building and testing and all groups were able to get it to spin, some are still working on accomplishing their power tests! Their next step in the project will be to assemble a model of a wind turbine to combine their circle unit for Geometry, a Power and Work Unit for Physics and Engineering, and Conservation in Engineering.

www.actstudent.org . When registering, students will need the HUHS school code, which is 500-850. Please remember to check the website to see if the college(s) your son or daughter is considering requires or recommends the ACT writing test. The test fee for the ACT is $42.50 and the ACT with writing is $58.50. If you feel you cannot afford the test fee, please ask your child's counselor if you are eligible for a fee waiver.
