Jamaica Relief Drive

The Nathan Hale Student Council would like to extend their gratitude to our Nathan Hale families and community members for supporting our Jamaica Relief Drive. Over 1,000 items were brought in, filling up 26 boxes to be donated. The donations have been given to the owners of "Taste of Jamaica" restaurant in Highland, Indiana, and our donations will be heading to Jamaica on Wednesday! They were overwhelmed with the generosity of our students and community, and they will be sharing pictures and updates as our supplies journey to Jamaica. Thank you again for all of your support! Congrats to Mrs. Mueller's and Ms. Hodo's classes for having the largest amount of donations and winning a special celebration from Student Council!

Mad Science Day

Pre-K got into their love of science as they dove right into Math and Science! They have been working on counting and number recognition. We have used math games with dice to make it fun and interesting. Our littles love science, which means that Mad Science Day was an extreme hit! We blew up balloons using baking soda and vinegar. There were many ooh's and aah's along with screams and laughter! Pre-K is where the action is.
