The purpose of Veterans day is to honor the men and women who have served or are currently serving in any U.S. wars. The assembly started with Mr. Lutze welcoming all the Veterans who came to the high school, followed by the American Legion Troop 1-90 posted the colors. Corey Duck, senior class president then led the Pledge of Allegiance, and our Hebron band performed the National Anthem, led by Mr. Cheek. Middle schoolers Stephanie Hano, Jacob Stewart, Jacob Poradzisz, Hannah Lloyd, Alex Suarez, and Alexis Rippe gave read passages honoring veterans, then the Middle School Choir, led by Miss Gorski, performed Let Freedom Ring. When the choir finished, Hebron High School students Faith Holman, Jewel Elam, and Scott Crawley recognized the sacrifices of our veterans. The High School Choir sang a song called, To Those Who Serve, and the High School Band played a moving rendition of American Heroes. When the band finished there was an amazing guest speaker, Pastor Jim Drummond USMC (retired), who gave a wonderful speech honoring veterans and reminding the students to never take for granted their privileges since it was our veterans who fought to keep those for them. Lucas Sheetz, Nathaniel Mlechek, and Taylor Gajda played Taps, and then the American Legion retired the colors. The greeters for the morning included, Nikki Fieser, Paige Marrs, Natalie Egolf, Jessica Sobczak, and Kylee Hamby. Thank you to all the men and women who served our country!

6 Art Club Our Halloween Art Club party was Thursday, October 22. Several art club members attended, mostly all bringing some kind of food or dessert with them to share. The students got the pumpkins from Kregel's pumpkin patch in Lowell. Almost everyone carved a Halloween themed pumpkin, then took them home after they finished. Overall, it was an incredible turn out.. Art Club s upcoming events include looking into getting tickets to see The Christmas Carol or The Nutcracker in Chicago with Drama Club. This will hopefully take place late November or early December. The Christmas Party will also be held in December before winter break. It will include gingerbread house building, a gift exchange, and lots of food to share. The date for that is still to be announced. Fall Sports Awards Wednesday, October 28 was the 2015 Fall Sports Awards Ceremony. It was a very successful affair, as we honored all of our Hawk athletes. Teams included boys and girls cross country, boys and girls soccer, and boys and girls JV and Varsity volleyball. Coaches from all sports spoke highly of their teams and individual performances. Athletes from each sport performed very well and showed it throughout the conference and the state. We thank our seniors and the rest our fall athletes for a spectacular season. All Conference Award Winners Boys Cross Country : Parker Nuest and Joe MacNeill Girls Soccer: Jewel Elam and Shelby Keehn Girls Cross Country : Payton Schatz, Star Rodriguez, Nikki Schmidt, Natalie Egolf, and Alyssa Rokosz Boys Volleyball: Ryan Daniel and Carson Roeske Boys Soccer: Nick Surber, Jordan Giacomin, Dawson Walsh, and Joey Haskins Spell Bowl The Hebron High School Spell Bowl team had a very successful run this year, all thanks to the dedicated members who came out day after day for practice. Andrew Briggs input all 3,000 words into a very helpful and engaging online software program that was used for their Monday-Thursday practices. In October, the team attended two Kouts invites, and worked their way up to the North Judson competition on November 2. Those who competed at North Judson included: Andrew Briggs, Heather Loser, Taylor Gajda, Jayne Anderson, Mike Borner, Jason Licht and Eric Ream. Andrew Briggs got 9/10 words correct and earned a near-perfect award for it, making him the top speller for our team. The team placed a very respectable third in their class and fourth overall, but unfortunately fell short of moving to state by just three words!! We applaud the Spell Bowl team for their dedication and for having such a successful season this year and are already looking forward to the fun next year will bring!
