Earlier in October, Watertown High School students were treated to a German Fest sponsored by our local chapter of the National German Honor Society. First hour classes competed in a daily trivia contest to win root beer floats and warm pretzels--Ms. Meissner's class enjoyed the prize! Students also looked for a new daily hiding sport for Hannah the Bear, winning German chocolate for bringing her back. After school, students guessed how many German candies were in a jar--congratulations to Connor Hawes for coming closest!
HOSA recently held their "HOSAween" event. Leah Salva and Amelia Dean were the winners of the pumpkin carving contest with their "Nightmare Before Christmas" pumpkin.
No School for WUSD students on Thursday, October 26 & Friday, October 27.
On Monday, 10/9, four of our WHS students participated in the Badger Conference Honors Orchestra. Jacob Johnson, Sarin Johnson, Kieran McCarthy, and Sara Rodriguez spent the day rehearsing with other students from our conference and were led by Oriol Sans, Director of Orchestral Studies at UW-Madison. They rehearsed throughout the day at the Hamel Music Center on the UW-Madison Campus and performed a concert in the evening, attended by family and friends. The students learned music by Grieg, Assad, Bernstein, and Stravinsky. Also participating in the event were students from Beaver Dam, Edgewood, Fort Atkinson, McFarland, Monona Grove, Mt. Horeb, Oregon, Reedsburg, Verona, and Waunakee.
