Project SAFE (Seatbelts Are For Everyone) ambassadors were out the last two mornings at HHS collecting baseline seatbelt data. This program is a free, student-led program for high school students focusing on peer-to-peer promotion of traffic safety. Through education, rewards, and enforcement, SAFE highlights the importance of wearing a seatbelt, driving alert, and following traffic laws with the goal of decreasing the number of teen injuries and deaths from vehicle crashes. HHS collaborated with the Brown County Sheriff's Department and the Hiawatha Police Department to conduct our morning checks. More activities will be held throughout the year.

Hiawatha High School Parent Teacher Conferences

Last week the 4th graders took a field trip to Mt. Hope Cemetery during art to learn the history and admire the artwork at the world famous Davis Memorial. While there they also learned the resting places of several notable Hiawathians like Governor Morrill (13th Governor of Kansas), T.H. Korthanke (the man responsible for the maple trees in Hiawatha), and Elizabeth Krebs (founder of the Hiawatha Halloween Parade).
Students then drew the memorial and will use the knowledge gained for a future project where they will design a work of art that reflects the town’s history.
