One book, A couple schools

  

On Tuesday, March 18th six Hester students attended One Book, A Couple of Schools: Wonder Workshop at West Leyden High School. A group of over one hundred students from middle schools and high schools in the area all came together to celebrate the novel "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. One Book, and a Couple of Schools is an annual event where students from the area read the same book and come together to discuss it. The event keeps evolving and this year it was a day long workshop. Hester students collaborated with others and wrote original poetry, wrote scripts for talk show scenes, and created alternative book covers at the workshop. At the end, all of our Hester students shared their work with the group. It was a great event and Hester looks forward to participating it in the future. 

Students who attended: JuVontae S., Sashenka S., Nancy T., Dannalee M., Jenna L., Jael R. 

HJH Concert Band performs at Northwestern University

Congratulations to the Hester Concert Band for their terrific performance at Northwestern University.  These musicians really enjoyed playing on the stage at Pick-Staiger, which is the main concert venue for NU's Bienen School of Music.  Dan Farris, Northwestern assistant band director and director of the Wildcat Marching Band, worked with the students after their performance.

Lady Wildcat Basketball Conference Tourney 2nd place

The 8th Grade Lady Wildcats did not disappoint Wednesday night.  Though they came in 2nd place by only two points, they played their hearts out until the very last second.  Coach Maloni is so proud of you all, and if she could, she would keep coaching you from year to year.  For the first time, there was no drama, just basketball.  Thank you for a season to remember! The ROAR players of the SEASON are Annissa Lemon, Erika Arroyo, Serena Caraballo, Angie Perez, Adreana Munoz, Sara Cole, Aby Salgado, Yulissa Perez, Jordan Crane and Julia Uy.  The team would also like to thank the staff and students who were there last night and supported us this season. Together, we attack!
