Career Cruising is a Pathfinder encouraging high school students to think about the impact their studies have on

achieving their future goals. With a few clicks, it helps them set up a complete 4-year program of courses in

perfect alignment with their graduation requirements and career aspirations. We are encouraging all the

students to use this program. We are also ready to unveil the next component of this program. Here is what

is coming soon:

*We will be sending parent access to your child’s progress on Career Cruising with report cards the first

week of November so you can monitor their progress and help them in their career aspirations.

*We will be unveiling the “My Skills Inventory” to the students to see if their skills both academically and

socially are lining up with the career they are looking into.

*We will be unveiling the Method Test Prep section of Career Cruising to help students prepare for the

ACT test in April as well as the SAT test.

If you have questions regarding Career Cruising please contact Mrs. Danielle Adams at 942-8521, ext: #8031.

The Early Childhood Education class

and Brickie Kidz Preschool enjoyed a

field trip to County Line Orchard

today. The visit reinforced what the

preschoolers are learning in class about

pollination, photosynthesis, and

pumpkins. The high school students get to practice their leadership and

communication skills by chaperoning children. Both preschoolers and high

school students enjoyed learning about bees and apples, picking pumpkins,

visiting the kid’s farm…and of course nothing beats Orchard donuts!

Apples, Pumpkins &

Brickie Kidz Trip!

The journalism class at Hobart High School has revamped the student newspaper. Students began the class by creating an

online newspaper for delivering the news of the school. This online newspaper can be found at brickienews.com. Students

also changed the name of the student newspaper to “Brickie 411”. The online newspaper includes feature stories, sports,

clubs, spotlight, opinion, advice, and entertainment. Students have been covering a plethora of events the first nine weeks

including; football games, school events, community events, and interviews with students and new staff members. Miss

Denton applied & received a grant from the Hobart Education Foundationfor the journalism program that will help pay for

two iPads. These iPads will be used for mobile reporting, interviewing, video podcasts, and photography. The efforts and

ownership the students have taken in the journalism program have been fantastic. HHS can look forward to improvements

in the student newspaper as the year progresses.

The Buddy Walk is designed to help

celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness

Month in October and to promote inclusion. The Down Syndrome Association of

Northwest Indiana hosted a walk at the Lake County Fair grounds on October 6th to

raise money for the NDSS. Over the last couple of years, the Buddy Walk foundation

hosted walks across the country and brought in almost 12 million dollars to benefit all

individuals with Down Syndrome. The Psychology Club helped set up the event, took

part in blowing up thousands of balloons for the “yellow and blue" balloon release as

well as setting up tables, registration and food service stations.
