The Cooking Club met for the first time last Thursday. The students had a great time preparing a breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. Cooking Club members will learn how to cook independently and how to cooperate with others to prepare a meal. Other sessions will center on nutrition and home economics. We hope you encourage your child to cook at home, with appropriate supervision. Soon they might be able to cook an entire family meal by themselves!

Student Ambassadors
Student Life News
September 29, 2022
On Monday, the Admissions Office announced the formation of the Ambassador Club. Ambassadors are students who represent HSArts at various on and off campus events. They share information and personal perspectives about HSArts with interested students and their families.
A presentation on Monday introduced important public speaking and leadership skills that will serve our students as ambassadors and will also aid them as they move forward in their academic and professional endeavors. Additionally, participation in a school’s Ambassador Club looks great on any student’s résumé! HSArts students who are interested in becoming ambassadors may contact Dr. Fung for more information.
