Spanish 2
While many people in the United State trick-or-treat for Halloween, the next day in Mexico, the Day of the Dead, honors those who have passed. Señora Feren's Spanish 2 class recently designed their Máscaras de Calaveras for Día de los Muertos.
French 1
Can you describe your family in another language? Madame Feren's French 1 students created their family albums this week- if you're a French 1 parent, ask your child to share with you - you may find some fun pictures of you with a little français sprinkled in.
Did you know that what we know as French toast comes from pain perdu? It means "lost bread" en français. How about the difference between a macaron and a macaroon? Madame Feren's French 2 students investigated and demonstrated how to prepare French recipes this week. Some examples were pain perdu, crêpes, macarons, ratatouille, and crème brûlée. Many recipes were prepared at home and shared with la famille and the samples we shared in class had rave reviews. We're looking forward to visiting Maison Navarre in Portsmouth next week to order some authentic crêpes and macarons en français.

Pumpkin Fest
On October 8th the National Honor society sold pastries at Pumpkin Fest to raise money for 68 hours of hunger and the leukemia walk for Brandon Paine.
NHS has also helped worked UNH football games, along with the math team, the senior class and the junior class. We have raised over $1000. $50 will be going to the math team, 100 will be going to the seniors, and $700 will be going to the juniors.
NHS will be volunteering at the table of plenty on November 2nd the first of four dates at the United Methodist Church in Berwick!
Somersworth's National Honor Society is doing a Krispy Kreme donut fundraiser up until Thursday November 10th. Boxes are $10 per dozen.
Our proceeds we get are going towards a few local causes:
1. 68 Hours of Hunger: We've given $165 towards 68 hours of hunger this year and are looking to help out our local school community a bit more as it gets closer to the holidays.
2. Thanksgiving food: We're looking to have a higher role in assembling baskets filled with food for families for Thanksgiving. Last year we were able to assemble 10 baskets filled with enough Thanksgiving food to feed a family of four.
3. Christmas Parade Toys: We're going to be using some of our funds to purchase some toys to give out during the Somersworth Christmas parade on December 3rd.
Finishing touches continue to be put on the newly renovated CTC wing.
