🧡 Today was an inspiring day for our Humboldt High School students! 🧡
Students participated in the Zero Reasons Why Winter Retreat, where they collaborated with teens from across Allen County, built meaningful connections, and learned powerful advocacy skills. Through creating an Elevator Pitch, students practiced sharing why they are passionate about teen mental health and how to advocate for support on issues that matter most to them.
🎉 Congratulations to our very own Kinley Hart, who won an iPad in the retreat drawing!
Our students walked away with valuable knowledge, confidence, and tools to help keep the momentum strong for our HHS Zero Reasons Why initiative. We are so proud of their leadership and commitment to making a difference!

Mrs. Buchanan and Mr. Jones have the privilege to bring 3 of our talented vocal students to the Southeast Kansas Music Education Association Elementary District Choir. The students will be performing at 3:30pm.

Hey middle school parents! The middle school math teachers are starting something new and exciting in our math classes but we need your help. We are needing items for our prize bins! We are looking for items like cool stickers, small trinkets or fidgets, or any other interesting things that kids may want to win for themselves. Snacks are always a big hit as well! If anyone would feel generous enough to donate some things for our kids to earn, we would greatly appreciate any thing that comes our way!!
