weekend

Interact Club is hosting a first Religion Fair on Tuesday, April 16th. The group wants to spread information about religions in the world, so we can see how we are similar, instead of feeling different or ignorant of what we don't know. The Fair will take place in the morning & this event will be run by the Interact Members.

Interact members assisted in the community by hanging posters for the Rootabega Music Festival & selling merchandise on behalf of the festival on Saturday, April 6th at the Orpheum.

Interact, along with FCCLA, Key Club & Mrs. Chadderdon's Catering Class have completed another year of Community Dinners. We are averaging serving 166 people

Spanish IV

On Thursday, April 11th, I took students from my Spanish 3 & 4 classes to Capitol Forum. Illinois Humanities has promoted Capitol Forum for at least 20 years and the past 2 years KHS has been a part of this remarkable event! Students attend ISU in Bloomington with around 175 other students in the state in order to discuss local & global issues. The topics include: immigration, genocide, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, the global economy and climate change. The students come prepared to discuss & debate these topics. They have the opportunity to listen to and participate in discussions with guest experts in these areas, as well. (pictures attached)
