Below are some items that our teacher's have requested that would make their classroom experience better for our students. If you could assist us in obtaining any of these items, please send them to the teacher listed.

Computers for Community Service Project: Highland Hills Middle School

The sixth grade at Highland Hills Middle School has an ongoing project with Providence Retirement Home where they send letters to the residents. In past years, Highland Hills Middle School students have been able to meet those residents in person by taking a field trip to the home, but this is not planned within the new school budget. Students continue to write letters to residents they have not met. In order to communicate further and more regularly with the residents, it is hoped to purchase two computers with technology that allow students to record messages, display artwork, and present musical programs that will be used for this project. The Retirement Home Activity Director has approved the idea and hopes the project moves ahead. Although the corporation has approved the purchase of these computers, there is no budget to purchase them. Theresa Gottbrath, English Teacher, is exploring many avenues to raise these funds and anticipates volunteers will come forward with a donation toward the purchase. The total cost for the two computers is $2,371.22. If you are willing to contribute toward the cause, please contact Theresa Gottbrath at tgottbrath@nafcs.k12.in.us or send a check to Highland Hills Middle School to her attention. The school’s address is 3492 Edwardsville/Galena Rd, Georgetown, IN 47122.

Cellos for Orchestra Students: Highland Hills Middle School

Highland Hills is fortunate to have many students interested in being part of the orchestra program; however, this can be a mixed blessing. Every day in class, students must watch while others are practicing the cello. Orchestra director Doug Elmore is exploring many options to find cellos for these eager students so they may fully participate in their classes. If you happen to have a cello that is no longer being used, please consider donating it to Highland Hills. Another option is to donate money toward the purchase of a cello. One instrument costs about $1500. If you are willing to contribute toward the cause, please send a check made payable to Highland Hills Middle School with a designation that it be used to purchase a cello. If you have questions, please contact Doug Elmore at delmore@nafcs.k12.in.us.

The 6th grade ELA teachers have some wish list items we would like put on the website. We would like copies of any of the below books for our classrooms. These are for our classroom libraries so paperbacks are perfectly fine, we just need more books for the students to read since they have been challenged to read 40 books this year. We are also willing to accept gently used books too!
