Hiawatha High School Presents A Night On Broadway!

Kyndra Lay, Hiawatha Elementary School
My SDS is with kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Pyle. In these pictures I am helping students with their partner math activities. They have different themed activities helping them with writing numbers, counting, and putting numbers in order from least to greatest. In the last picture, my class is posing with their redhawk gear at the homecoming parade. Going to the elementary school has shown me how much I want to be a teacher. It warms my heart to hear their little voices come up to me to ask for help. And sometimes seeing them outside of school and getting so excited to see 'Miss Kyndra'. This experience is helping me with my career planning and showing me how a teacher can impact a life at such a young age, it has shown me that teaching is for sure what I want to do.
Mark your calendars for the HES book fair!

Allison Arment, HES 2nd grade with Ms. Riley
In this photo, I am shown working with a small group of second graders in their classroom. On the days I go to the elementary school, I am present during their math time. Some days, Ms. Riley gives me a small group of students to work with. Typically, they are given a certain amount of problems to complete in their math books and I help them through if they have any questions. When this photo was taken, I was asking them questions to help keep them all engaged and on task, which can be difficult at times. Giving me small groups to work with definitely helps out Ms. Riley tremendously, as it gives her more time to focus on other students in the classroom.

Karin Moorhous, BBCC Properties
Job shadowing Angela Entrikin at BBCC properties, benefits my life in many different ways. For instance, I want to go into business management but I had no idea where to start. Talking with Angela, she can answer all the questions I have regarding business management. With only a couple months in, she has taken me on inspections, shown me how to build things, and overall shows me what a day in her life is like. Working under Angela is a great opportunity for the simple fact, it teaches me things you can’t necessarily research. Some days it can be unexpected and other days, it’s as normal as it can be. Without OJT, I wouldn’t be able to know first hand what working with business management is like.

Lakyn Leupold
My name is Lakyn Leupold and I am a senior at HHS. I am doing career research as my SDS. I plan on going into the field of atmospheric science. I am currently researching the major at KU and what classes I will need to take. I plan to explore the career opportunities this major offers. This research is very helpful because there are no jobs around here similar to the career I want. It is helping me feel more confident in my major choice and more prepared for college!

Athalia Hoschouer, Hiawatha Elementary School
My SDS at the elementary school with Ms. Ashley Olson will help me after high school because I plan to become a kindergarten teacher. This gives me more experience with children while still in school and helps me see what it’ll be like if I choose to pursue this career field. It’ll help make my choices clearer because I won’t be going into the work force not knowing beforehand if it is really what I want to do with my life. So far, I am enjoying it and am looking forward to graduation and becoming an early childhood educator.
Congratulations to the JV Scholar's Bowl team for placing 3rd last night at the Sabetha meet!

Grady Bacon, Carls Body Shop
Going to the body shop has taught me and will continue to teach me many life lessons that I will be able to benefit from for the rest of my life. It has taught me communication skills over the phone and in person, whether this be talking to customers, other businesses getting/ordering parts or talking with insurance companies. I have been able to work on my people skills, answering phone calls to schedule estimates, answering questions about their vehicles and helping with estimates. I have learned how to look at vehicles and inspect damage, start estimates, and fill out data on the estimating software. Being mechanically inclined has helped me excel at the body shop, I have been able to remove broken mechanical parts/ body panels, make repairs if needed, and replace with new OEM parts. Gaining these skills will help me in the future by giving me the understanding on how vehicles are supposed to be repaired, how the insurance world works on vehicles, and how to look at a repaired vehicle to make sure it was done right.

Sydney Smith, Hiawatha Middle School
In this picture, I am in Mrs. Williams fifth grade science classroom. I am helping them take their quiz over their recent scientist project. Each student researched a scientist, and now that they are done, they get to see each student’s research and answer a quiz off of it. One of my favorite parts of my TA is helping students one one one, and this picture illustrates that.
