In Search of Volunteer Opportunities

GEDO2 is a program at HUHS for students who are credit deficient, but have chosen an alternate route to prove competency in their school subjects so they can graduate on time. Several of these students are in need of community service/volunteer hours to complete their requirements. They could do many types of things from raking lawns to shredding/filing papers. If you have an opportunity for one of these students, please contact
Jamie Piittmann . She will be coordinating the students.

Civil War Presentation
|
On Friday, November 10, Mr. Kumbier and his son (Korey Kumbier) presented a soldier's life during the Civil War to Mr. Manlick's American Military History course. Both Mr. Kumbier and Korey Kumbier are active Civil War re-enactors throughout the United States. The students in AMH had been studying all aspects of the Civil War (causes, roles of individuals, objectives, military strategies, technological advancements, battles, and effects), but the Kumbier's were able to present with actual Civil War artifacts of a soldier's life. A random student from each class was drafted and dressed up in the Yankee blues in opposition to the Confederate Kumbier's. The Kumbier's belong to Valley Corps which portrays the lives of actual soldiers who served in Company F, 2nd Virginia Infantry, CSA.

Last week, our HUHS Science Department presented as part of the Wisconsin Science Festival. HUHS was selected to take part in the festival to showcase the many unique learning opportunities that our Science department offers our Freshmen.
Click here to read the Daily News coverage of the event. Our Associate Schools came to learn about the Science programs, giving them another opportunity to improve their transitions to high school. None of this would have happened if it were not for Mr. Kevin Martin who organized and coordinated the presentation with the Wisconsin Science Festival and our Associate districts. Thank you to all of our Cohort, PLTW, and Agri-Science teachers for putting this together!

FBLA at Wisconsin Fall Leadership Conference
|
On November 6-7, 11 Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) members attended the Wisconsin FBLA Fall Leadership Conference in Middleton, WI. At this conference, students heard from keynote speaker and workshop presenter Chris Spradlin, who encouraged the students to be bold leaders. Students also attended workshops on chapter development opportunities, competitive events and other business and leadership topics. Presenters of these workshops included HUHS FBLA member and current Wisconsin FBLA Region VI Vice President Marley Kreger and HUHS business teacher and FBLA adviser Mrs. Sara Sturm.
Members who attended the conference also toured local Madison area businesses such as Camp Randall, the University of Wisconsin - Madison and the Capitol Building, had the opportunity to network with other Wisconsin chapter members and learned that sometime in order to lead, you have to step under someone else's umbrella. Thanks to all for a great conference!

Senior pictures were due November 1, 2017. Photos not turned in by this deadline will result in a $25.00 fine. Photos received after November 15, WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED in the 2017-18 yearbook
-
Please email one digital file of your photograph to yearbook@huhs.org. It must be at least 2x3 inches at 300dpi. If you cannot send a digital file, we can digitize it, but this will reduce the quality from the original. Please name your file with your last name, _ , then your first name (example: doe_john.jpg). File types can be .jpg or .tiff
-
DO NOT SEND IN a screenshot of your senior picture from your photographer, if at all possible, have your photographer send the photo to prevent losing any quality!
-
Photos must be vertical color prints, with no pets, no hats, and have a simple background. Dress needs to be school appropriate. Remember, the pictures in our yearbook are small, so ideally the photo should show just the head and shoulders. We want to maximize your face size.
-
Many local photographers have these deadlines and may the send the photo for you if you ask. Please understand that your photographer will need probably 6 weeks or more to get photos done. This means you should have your pictures taken by the middle of September to get them done with enough time to spare.
-
We cannot accept prints from a Laser or inkjet home computer printer.
Any students who do not turn in senior pictures will have their HUHS school picture published in the yearbook (WHICH DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY KIND OF FEE)

Online Payment Fees Waived All Year!
|
After reviewing the data and receiving input from users (YOU!), the District has decided to waive the fee for online payments for this school year. You may recall, that the District was only going to waive the fee for August and September. The company we work with charges a 3.49% fee for processing the payments. The District will pick up this cost moving forward. A number of parents told us that they would not pay that fee and would send checks to the school instead. We encourage you to continue to use RevTrak to pay fees and to add to your child's food service account. Thank you!

You aren't giving a speech to thousands of people but someone in the Admissions Office who really wants to hear it! The essay is a story that means something to you and if you are able to convey that meaning to Admissions, you've done the job.
If you'd like help with your college essay, Mrs. Carter or Mr. Dobberstein are available in the Writing Center during 5th and 6th period. Mr. Schliewe is available during Resource on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Room 84. All three are English teachers.

Swimming Sectionals - Irene Wilson and Olivia Meinberg ON TO STATE!!
|
Our Girls Swim Team is very young and very inexperienced, but they have been ending their season like old pros. 100% of the Sectional Team ended the season with huge time drops in the past two championship meets.
- Maria Graziano (Slingerian freshman. 7 second drop in the 200 IM, are you kidding me? -2 sec in the 100 Breast, too.)
- Abbi Block (junior elder statesman. -3 sec in the 200 free, big drops in the sprints.)
- Skylar Bertz (up-and-coming-sophomore-stud). 12 second drop in the 500 free!)
- Haley Hagan (junior. Back on track. Big contributor to a 7 sec drop in the 400 Free Relay)
- Rylie Christnovich (freshman beast. Best times in the 200 IM and 200 free relay- and huge drops at Conference)
- Maddy Jacobi (junior spiritual leader. Fastest fly in her life)
- Grace Teske (strong sophomore. Big end-of-season drops in the 200 IM and fly)
- Sarah Alsum (sophomore training maniac. Had 'em weeping at the time drops at Conference.)
- Alyssa Simonz (Slingerian sophomore. Huge drops in the sprints, also in that 400 Free ---Relay)
Two Underclassman Swimmers Make It To The Big Dance
Irene Wilson - fighting through illness, this freshman still popped a 24.65 to earn her an 18th seed in the 50 Free at UW-Madison next week. It cannot be stated emphatically enough how much athleticism and relentless and grueling training it takes to compete at this level. No-one at this level just participates in swimming. They live it. It would be wise to watch this kid's career for the next four years.
Olivia Meinberg - an early-season severe ankle sprain would weaken the resolve of most athletes. But Olivia never missed a practice, put the pull buoy on, and pulled the entire training season. Without being able to develop her underwater kicking or her starts and push-offs, she instead worked her core and shoulder strength. Post-practice was devoted to ankle rehab. Her stunning performance at Sectionals
this Saturday was especially satisfying, but there is lots of work to be done this week, since there are dozens of elite athletes coming after her
on Saturday. Click
here to read a great article about Olivia and the challenges she has overcome to make it to state!
She was Sectional Champion in both her events.
She goes in to DI State seeded 2nd in the 50 Free with her 23.70, and seeded 3rd in the 100 Free with her 51.86.
Both were HUHS school records. The 50 Free record of 24.11 was held by Chris Fredrick since 1988. The 100 Free Record was held by Racheal Borchardt since 2013.
200 Free Relay - Almost made it in. At the beginning of the season, there was very little talk that we'd put together a relay of State caliber, but Abbi Block, Rylie Christnovich, Irene and Olivia made it close. 1.5 seconds would have done it.
200 Medley Relay - Respectable 8th place finish, and a big time drop. Olivia, Irene, Maddy Jacobi, and Abbi Block
400 Free Relay - Surprising 8th place finish with a 7 second drop. Haley Hagen, Alyssa Simonz, Rylie Christnovich, and Sarah Alsum

Congratulations to HUHS Girls Tennis Coach, Mr. Andy Andress who was selected as the WHSTCA (Wisconsin High School Tennis Coaches Association) Coach of the Year for his work during the 2017 season.
From the WHSTCA: "Many of the reasons Andy was nominated have nothing to do with team records or even team success in terms of wins or losses. Andy's team had an 11 and 9 overall dual record. His varsity squad finished 6th in the 10 team newly aligned North Shore Conference, a marked improvement over last year's 7th place finish in the now defunct 8-team Little Ten Conference. Hartford sent three players to sectionals and scored a third place finish at the #3 singles spot. Andy's team, as usual, showed great growth and improvement over the course of the season. He was also chosen for his guidance to assist a player facing a serious medical issue and for his leadership to help design, schedule and revise bylaws for the new look of the North Shore Conference. According to Steve Anderson from Slinger, 'He is an ambassador for high school tennis and puts the best interests of kids first while providing outstanding leadership at meetings that set policy and guide play at both the conference and sub sectional levels.
HUHS Athletic Director, Scott Helms added, "Being named Division 1 Coach of the Year by his peers is a credit to Andy's leadership amongst tennis coaches."
Our Girls Tennis team is lucky to be under the guidance of Coach Andress and we appreciate all that he does for the HUHS Girls Tennis team and the sport as a whole. Congratulations to Coach Andy Andress on being named the Coach of the Year

| National Signing Day! |
HARTFORD - No one changed colors, or choices.
It made Wednesday a formality, in a sense, for Hartford Union volleyball players Abby Hamilton,
Alivia Marks and Sydney Nienhaus. But it was also the start of something new for the trio, who each signed a National Letter of Intent on the first day of the fall early signing period Wednesday at a ceremony at the high school.
Hamilton is bound for Division I Loyola-Maryland after committing to the program during the summer. Marks will head to Division II University of Wisconsin-Parkside; she committed in July.
Nienhaus committed to NAIA
Cardinal Stritch in September.
"We had time to think about our decision after committing," said Nienhaus, a second team All-North Shore Conference selection after accumulating 147 kills, 78 total blocks, with 43 solo, and nine aces as a middle blocker.
Nienhaus compiled 248 kills, 159 total blocks, with 59 solo, 52 digs 17 assists and 16 aces through the past two years on varsity. The Wolves (15-15) beat Indiana University at South Bend, 3-2, in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament
semifinals Tuesday and will face No. 1 seed Trinity Christian today for the conference championship. Nienhaus will join current juniors Megan Kiefert (West Bend East) and Maida Wolff (Kettle Moraine Lutheran) as Washington County athletes on Dan
Mathews' team next season.
"Today is where you actually get to relax - now you know the work is over, and the years of volleyball recruitment has come to an end and it's exciting. Click here to read full article.

Season Ends for Orioles - Congrats on an Awesome Run!!
|
Hartford Union did something that hasn't been done against Waunakee this year.
After that accomplishment, though, it was all Waunakee. The Warriors won, 45-19, during a WIAA Division 2 Level 3 game Friday to end Hartford's season. The Orioles scored in the first quarter against the Warriors, who entered the game Fridayoutscoring their opponents 171-0 in the opening frame.
"Wow," Hartford offensive coordinator Paul Shelsta exclaimed when hearing the stat. "I know they've allowed like five points per game." The Warriors had allowed just 55 points to opponents through 11 games. Waunakee (12-0) executed a pooch punt by quarterback Nate Carter to end its first possession and gave the ball to Hartford on its own 6-yard line. One play later, the Orioles (9-3) led 6-0. Tristan Bradley hit Jason Patterson, who was wide open down the middle of the field. Patterson won the race to the end zone for a 94-yard touchdown. "That's going to happen," Waunakee coach Pat Rice said of giving up a score on his team's first defensive play. "There's ups and downs, and we played through it." The momentum shifted to Waunakee's side after that; it responded with a 57-yard drive. The drive was capped off with a 2-yard touchdown run by Javian Dayne, and the extra point tied the game at 7. Dayne led the Warriors' rushing attack with 215 yards on 25 carries. He finished with three scores. Through 12 games, he has more than 2,000 yards rushing. "We had trouble getting Dayne down," Hartford coach John Redders said. "He's a great player, no doubt. Give him credit. We tried to put guys in the right position, and we did.
