Our varsity cheerleaders traveled to Portage High School to compete at the Hoosier Open Cheerleading Competition Sunday, 2/24/19 and had an outstanding performance!

The girls competed in the Varsity division and received 1st place with a zero deduction performance receiving near perfect scores in the jumps, dance, and overall impression.

Additionally, the team received the Spirit trophy for having the most spirit, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship out of all schools in attendance at the competition! This was a great honor for our program and we are so proud of the girls. This is the first time in history Hobart has won this coveted award!

We also had girls competing for best jumps of the competition and placed three athletes in the top 5! Freshman Sydnie Anderson placed 4th, junior Taylor Lollis placed 3rd, and senior Merqurie Sage placed 2nd.

The band has had a very busy weekend this week. On Friday Mrs. Teykl and the basketball band played at their last game of the year, and on Saturday we had 15 students perform at the ISSMA State Solo and Ensemble contest in Indianapolis. Our students did very well, and they earned 9 Gold ratings and 1 Silver rating. Three of their gold ratings were "with distinction".

HHS is proud to announce that junior, Katy Webber, won the Drive Safe Chicago Contest recently and was showcased at the Chicago Auto Show. Katy created her PSA for how to prevent drowsy driving for her Porter Country Career Class. Entries for this contest came from states all around the Midwest, and Katy received top honors which means a PBS special about her PSA and a monetary prize of $2000.

Prior to this, Katy had never entered a contest, but she said that her teacher, Mr. Phelps, pushes students to challenge themselves and enter into contests such as this one.

Congratulations, Katy! We are so proud of you!

If you have any questions or need help with your student, please contact the appropriate grade-level administrator.

Flu- The lucky leprechaun says get your flu shot before your luck runs out! Its flu season! Please contact your healthcare provider or make an appointment at our Brickie Clinic 219-945-9383.

Vaccinations- All students should be up to date on their vaccinations. Indiana state law requires you to have up to date immunizations. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your school nurse.

Health Conditions- If your student has a specific health condition or needs special care during the school day such as medication, treatments, or monitoring, please inform your school nurse and provide your nurse with a care plan. Individual health care plans help keep your student safe and healthy.

Sick students- Please keep all sick children home from school- this includes fever greater than 100 degrees, vomiting or diarrhea. If you are unsure, please call your healthcare provider or school nurse for advice. Please do not send your student to school and instruct them to go directly to the nurse before the school day begins. If your student is sick, please follow the call off procedures. Again, if you have any questions or concerns please contact your school nurse. Please see attached chart to assist you in knowing when to keep your student home.

Head Lice- It’s that time of year where our students break out their coats, scarves and hats. Please encourage your child not to share such items as hats, scarves, brushes or any personal items. Lice is not a danger to your child’s health, it is simply an annoying problem that comes around this time of year, so no need to panic. Please know that anyone and everyone can get lice. Getting lice has nothing to do with you being clean or dirty, it only has to do with the fact that you are human. It is very important to check your family for lice this time of year regularly. If you find any live lice or eggs, it is absolutely necessary to treat each “infected” person, but more importantly, you must notify the school so that we can effectively and confidentially assist you with monitoring. The school nurse can assist you with proper treatment options as well as identify and demonstrate for you what to do.

CLOTHING- Please make sure your student has an extra change of clothing in his/her backpack incase needed for unseen circumstances that may arise during the school day.

If you have any questions, please call your school nurse or visit our school web page at http://www.hobart.k12.in.us for more information on student health, school forms, and other helpful links
