ASPIRA Haugan Middle School Highlights


Multicultural POL (Presentation of Learning) a success!
ASPIRA Haugan held its 2nd Annual Multicultural POL (Presentation of Learning). The POL took place this past Thursday, January 28th 2010. 7th grade students were eager to showcase their chosen country on a tri-fold board and to share a typical dish from the same place, 8th grade students became actors for a night by showcasing a PSA (Public Service Announcement) which promoted Census awareness and participation, and 6th graders put the final touch to the night by having all attendees practice writing their name in Hieroglyphs. (see pictures below)

ASPIRA Haugan and the ASPIRA Club support Haiti during this difficult time.
Our school community supports our affected brothers and sisters in Haiti by putting a series of activities in place to raise funds for displaced victims of Haiti's recent earthquake. One of those activities took place during the Multicultural POL where students from room 313 sold hand-made flowers and raised a total of $102!!! In addition, the ASPIRA Club collected individual donations and recognized all donors with their own Pitirre, they raised $80!!!. The school raised close to $500 in one week ! (see pictures below)

ASPIRA Haugan develops artists!
This past Holiday season was extra special for our students.  Aspira Inc. of Illinois selected a core group to design and illustrate the scene for their annual Holiday cards.  The cards were truly a "work of art"!  Each designer was presented with their own set of Holiday cards to pass out to family and friends. (see pictures below)
