Engaging, Enriching, and Empowering All Students through a World-Class Education


#NHSSD Weekly eNews

Volume 19 | January 21, 2022

We've been enjoying student creativity on display this week—from tangible constructions of their own design to artistic expressions on the stage. See their work below and be sure to see our Community Happenings section for athletic opportunities coming up this spring!

Learning to Design, Build, and Invent

#NHSSD students have been engaging in fun, hands-on learning while exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM). Last week, our #Littlest Lions built structures for the LES Marshmallow Challenge. Tall towers, igloos, and snow creatures are just some examples of their imaginative creations. Mr. Mannion's art classes at the UES explored STEAM concepts by designing their own chess sets for 3D printing. Students in Mrs. Chuma's class were challenged to design and manufacture inventions utilizing three different materials. While sharing their prototypes in a Shark Tank-inspired forum, the students explained the product benefits, their design choices, and potential profit margins.


A  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Performance!

Congratulations to the cast and crew of the Middle School production of Mary Poppins, Jr. for three fantastic, fun-filled performances last week!
