Charities
This year, the students of the musical raised money for two charities. In Little Shop of Horrors, Audrey is abused by her boyfriend. While the musical makes light of this situation, the students felt that they needed to take this opportunity to assist women who find themselves in abusive situations and to work to curb violence against women. During the first weekend, the students collect $580 in donations from the audience for the Sojourner Peace Center in Milwaukee Wisconsin. It is a safe place for abused women. During the second weekend, the students collect $750 in donations from the audience for the LOVE>hate project in Hartford Wisconsin. This project is working to curb male violence against women. The students will be meeting with Buck Blodgett on December 20th to present a check to him for the LOVE>hate project donation.
The 45 cast members, 11 crew members, and 19 pit orchestra members auditioned in May, met in August for two days, and rehearsed on average 12 hours per week from September 10th until opening night.
This year, Virginia Noe was awarded the Spirit Award. She was chosen based on her work-ethic, leadership, and enthusiasm for the theater.

HUHS Teachers Leading!
Last weekend AP Psychology teacher, Terry Wick, and AP Biology teacher, Kevin Martin, had the pleasure of presenting at the NCSS (National Council for the Social Studies) Annual Conference in Chicago.
They were selected for one of the limited hour long sessions to share their experience collaborating in the AP BioPsych Bundle. T
erry and Kevin shared their passion for both content areas as well as ways to bring more science skills into the psychology classroom.
Word spread fast to teachers that were not able to attend their session and they have been invited to present at two additional functions later this year. As the AP BioPsych Bundle appears to be the only course of its kind in the US, many educators are intrigued and hoping to learn more about how they can also collaborate with other teachers in their building.
In addition to presenting, Terry and Kevin are also involved in helping to revise the NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR HIGH SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY CURRICULA. Terry is a direct group member, one of eight individuals from all over the country, that is looking to update the high school psychology standards to be more in alignment with other national standards like the Next Generation Science Standards. The ultimate goal is for Psychology to be recognized and respected as a science. Terry will be meeting with others in the group next week in DC at the APA (American Psychological Association) Headquarters.
To help with this alignment, Kevin has been selected as one of two individuals on the NATIONAL STANDARDS WORKING GROUP ADVISORY PANEL to serve as a K-12 Science Expert. The other Science Expert is a professor from the University of Arizona. Terry and Kevin will be working on this process for the next couple of years as the group looks to have the new Standards ready in August of 2021.

ACT Work Keys Test Date Change
Juniors will take the regular ACT at HUHS on Wednesday, February 20 as part of the statewide administration; however, the administration date for the ACT Work Keys has changed: juniors will take the ACT Work Keys exam on Wednesday, March 13.
The ACT exam days can be stressful and trying. We are moving the ACT Work Keys exam to March so that students do not have two testing days back-to-back. Our goal is to have juniors rested and rejuvenated for both exams.
In addition, DPI will be including both the ACT exam and the Work Keys exam as part of the annual School Report Card score. It is important that students are focused and ready to do their very best on both exams.
·
February 20, 2019: ACT; 7:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.; Juniors only

Educational Spotlight -UW-Oshkosh Nursing Program
UW-Oshkosh is home to the largest nursing program in the state, with brand new facilities that opened in February 2016. Currently ranked in the top 2% of nursing programs in the country, UW-Oshkosh students may now apply and be admitted to the College of Nursing during one of three cohorts (fall, spring, and year-round) for maximum access. The nursing program boasts the highest NCLEX pass rate in the state (they boast 96% for first time test takers) and students are taught by faculty who are all in clinical practice.
Seniors
Does your senior have everything they need to make one of the most important decisions of their lives?
Students who apply early to college are in a better position to capture financial aid and make important decisions that impact their college applications.
Seniors should be applying to post-secondary institutions if they haven't already begun to do so. Apply online to any University of Wisconsin campus
At Apply.wisconsin.edu. Information on Wisconsin private colleges/universities can be found online at
www.wisconsinsprivatecolleges.org
Wisconsin technical college information will be found at
www.witechcolleges.org
These websites are designed to be primary resources for easy access and information about the colleges, academics, degrees, athletics, and so much more!! Don't delay in applying because housing and scholarship opportunities are often connected with admission. Remember:
College Application Tip
Save the speech. Tell the tale. No need to stress out about the college application essay or be nervous if you think of it as a conversation or a story about yourself. You aren't giving a speech to thousands of people but someone in the Admissions Office who really wants to hear it! The essay is a story that means something to you and if you are able to convey that meaning to Admissions, you've done the job.
Seniors can talk to their English teachers for assistance or keep in mind there are peers available in the Writing Center in the LMC during Flex.
Junior Parent/Student Night
Mark your calendar!! Counselors will be holding a Junior Parent/Student Night presentation on Wednesday, January 9, at 6:00pm. Look for more information about this presentation in December.
Badger Boys/Girls State Program
Does your student have an interest in government and citizenship? Do they display qualities of leadership, good moral character, cooperativeness, dependability, and participate in co-curricular activities? Consider the Badger Boys or Girls State Program in June 2019. It's an exciting week of meeting new students, staying on a college campus, and experiencing dorm life. There's campaigning, pep rallies, State Fair, talent shows, recreational programs, music, discussion sessions, sports, etc. It's a sponsored event, so there's no cost to the participants. More information will be available in January.
Requirements: Student must be in the top half of his or her class; be a US Citizen; and able to participate in the entire week of activities.

Health Services
The Health Room is located in the Attendance Office and is staffed Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. until 3:15 p.m during the school year.
Please, remind your student that they always need to come to the Health Room with any health concerns and to not call, e-mail or text home to leave school. The Health Technician will always call the parent or emergency contact to arrange for the student to leave school when ill.
If a student talks, e-mails or texts their parent on their own and then they leave school without contacting a staff member and receiving a permit to leave, they are considered truant from school.
The beef recall for E-coli is for beef produced by Kroger brands. Wisconsin is not listed on the states affected, but keep your eyes on the news or call your local market to be sure your meat is safe if you have any doubts or concerns. Click HERE for more information.

Swimming
Tradition. Potential. The key words for this season where 2/3 of our swimmers are new to the team, and only 3 of those well-seasoned from swimming club. Those returning have begun to pass on the traditions of Hartford-Slinger swimming - hard work, GRIT, unity, sportsmanship, love of swimming, and the CHAIR cheer. Nov. 29, in Port Washington, we saw the potential.
In total, Hartford-Slinger won 10 of 11 events and took 3 2nds and 7 3rds (including a tie), leading to a final score of OriOwls 101.5, Pirates 80.5. There's hardly a better way to start the season, and continue the OriOwl swimming tradition.
The breakdown:
1st & 3rd in all 3 relays - 200 Medley (Logan, Quinn, Dylan, Robert), 200 Free (Adam, Nick, Logan, Robert), & 400 Free (Quinn, Nick, Adam, Dylan)
Dylan Webb - strong 1sts in 200 IM & 100 Fly
Adam Marx (new to the sport last year) - 1st in 200 Free & 100 Back
Robert Klockow - 1st in 100 Free & 100 Breast
Quinn Worman - close finish 1st in 50 Free, 2nd in 500 Free
Logan DeBack - 3rd in 50 Free, 2nd in 100 Fly
Nick Neuman (Slinger athlete) - 3rd in 200 IM & 100 Free
Evan Staton - tied for 3rd in 100 Breast
Hartford-Slinger co-op place fourth
The West Bend co-op placed third (58 points) and Hartford-Slinger's co-op placed fourth (44) at the
Hartford Relay Races on Saturday in Hartford.
"This was a fun meet to watch. All the guys who competed in this meet did a great job of swimming," West Bend coach Jim Sachse said. "I emphasized to the guys to have fun, which they did."
The Hartford-Slinger coop set a meet record in the 200-yard freestyle.
Adam Marx, Logan DeBack,
Robert Klockow and Dylan Webb swam a time of 1:35.72 - it bested
the old mark of 1:36.88 set by Muskego last year.
The team also won the 800 freestyle (Marx, Nick Neumann, Quinn Worman, Webb) in 8:07.82.
Marx, Worman, DeBack and Neuman were second in the 200 medley with a time of 1:54.91. Klockow, Worman and Webb placed second in the 300 breaststroke (3:30.02).
Chess Club
Congratulations to Freshman Vince Hesprech for being the best speed
chess player at HUHS! Nov 29 Speed Chess Tournament also proved
that Mr. Yohn is the best HUHS staff speed chess player. Full results
are on the Chess Club webpage.
Gymnastics
Hartford clinched a state tournament berth last season for the first time in 20 years, and returns senior Annie Mularski, sophomore Emily Perkowski and junior Myia Robinson, among others. Katarina Aranguiz, Paige Frailey and Shauna Hoffman also played parts, especially as the team placed second at the Manitowoc Lincoln Sectional and state.
The team also has "a couple new girls that can play a factor," she added, and believes their lineup
depth is greater this season. Early on, conditioning has been a little bit of an issue for some, Scherr
said, but "we'll get there, though."
The outlook is to, if nothing else, qualify for state again and go from there.
"That's the plan," she joked. "We have a lot to live up to, but last year was last year. We start all over again."
Congratulations to the JV & Varsity Gymnastics Teams on defeating Grafton/Cedarburg in their season opener Dec 5th. Great Job girls!

New This Year - Clubs & Activities Online Registration
Starting for the 2018-19 school year, all students wishing to participate in activities, clubs or sports will need to complete the Online Forms through Skyward Family/Student access.
All steps need to be marked as completed including step #8 "SUBMIT SY19 ATHLETIC/CO-CURRICULAR FORMS". Online Forms only need to be completed once per school year, so if a student participates in a sport as well as a club or activity the Online Forms only need to complete once.
If the student is only participating in an activity or club but will not be participating in a sport, they may mark step 3 complete and do not need to have a Physical Clearance Form completed by their Physician.
Once the online forms have been completed, the student will then need to pick up an "Orange Card" from the Co-Curricular Office clearing them to participate in their activity or club. Activity/Club organizers will inform students of this change at the first sign up meeting and collect the orange cards before the next regularly scheduled meeting.
