Veterans Day Commemoration
Veterans Day Commemoration
The KRHS Social Studies department will be setting up a Missing Man Table in the cafeteria set for the missing soldier. This is sometimes called the POW/MIA table but it predates that language and has also been called The Missing Man. The Department of Defense says:
"a table, usually set off to the side, with a single chair. The table is set with a white tablecloth, a single candle, a book of faith (optional), an inverted glass, and a single red rose in a vase, around which is tied a yellow ribbon. Set at the table is a plate containing a slice of lemon and a small amount of salt. There is nothing more poignant than witnessing the empty chair sitting."
Each item on the table has a special significance, as follows: The tablecloth is always white, symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call of their country. The single red rose has been given more than one meaning; the life of fallen comrades, the life of those waiting at home. If there is a red or yellow ribbon around the vase, it is to remind us that loved ones are still waiting for the soldier's return. The lemon is to remind us of the bitter fate of those who may never return. A pinch of salt on the plate (not usually a shaker, though a shaker is shown here) represents the tears shed by those who wait. The Bible represents strength through faith of those who wait for, or have lost loved ones. An upside down glass represents those who cannot be here to raise a glass in toast with us. The empty chair is self-explanatory. Last, there is always a light burning or left on to lead the way home

Check out the math projects created by the CP Algebra 2 students. Students have been working on applying transformation rules to quadratic, cubic, square root, and absolute value functions. Here are some of the results. They have done a great job creating these designs using the online Desmos graphing calculator.

WOMENS ADVOCACY
The KRHS Women's Advocacy Club took a trip down to Manchester on 10/19 to attend the NHWF Annual Luncheon. They were even featured in the NHWF Flyer from the event. I will forward you the flyer!
At the Luncheon the girls sat in on a Girls in the #603 panel which covered the topic of NH girl's mental health. They went through a series of slides showing the numbers and percentages of NH-based students in relation to mental health issues. After we were able to see those numbers, a panel consisting of Beth Dever, Executive Director of the Circle program, Nicole Sublette, Founder of Therapists of Color New England, and Patricia Tilley, Director of NH Division of Public Health Services spoke on the matter. We spent most of the afternoon making connections to NH-based organizations at the Grantee Showcase, such as Turning Points, Spark, and The Circle Program. These connections are vital for our Women's Advocacy Club because it gives us organizations to work with and raise money and materials for through the course of the year. We then attended the Lunch itself where we listened to keynote speaker, Elizabeth Nyamayaro share her story and an excerpt from her book I am a Girl from Africa. It was moving and brought several of our students and the luncheon attendees to tears. Our students attending were polite, professional, and did an amazing job representing our school. You can view more photos from the event here.
PROJECT CLIMB: WFA Certification
PROJECT CLIMB: WFA Certification
Six Project CLIMB leaders and two advisors earned their Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and CPR certifications through the New Hampshire Outdoor Learning Center last weekend. Participants learned how to survey a scene, determine a mechanism of injury, and treat multiple types of injuries or medical emergencies, while monitoring vital signs and collecting pertinent patient information. They also learned multiple modes of evacuating or sheltering a patient in the backcountry. Project CLIMB advisors are so proud of the student participants who dedicated their weekend to enhancing the safety of our trips and in the backcountry. We are looking forward to Carter Notch Hut this upcoming weekend! Project CLIMB will be going to the Dartmouth Class of '66 Lodge for an overnight on November 9-10.
Culinary Arts
Culinary Arts
Marc Moran from Hopewell Farm in Newbury conducted a butchering demonstration for students. He brought half of a pig and showed them how to cut it into primal pieces and individual cuts. He also showed the students how to make bacon, Canadian bacon, and sausage. The class was able to purchase the half pig from him and now will have meat to use throughout the rest of the year in our classes as they learn a variety of cooking methods.
