On Thursday, October 25th, at 7:25 AM, the class officers met for the first time this school year. The class officers are a group of people who discuss school issues as well as figuring out how to solve them. They also schedule prom and put the event together with a group of others to help.
When Senior President David Peeters was asked what will be discussed at this meeting he said, “It’s top secret.” He then went on to say “We will also talk about current school issues, upcoming events, and anything the students want them to talk about.”
There are a total of 12 class officers, which translates to three from each grade. There is a President, Vice-President, and a Secretary/Treasurer. The senior class consists of President David Peeters, Vice-President Connor Christopherson, and Secretary/Treasurer Max Wollersheim. The junior class is President Jonah Olson, Vice-President Nate Hietpas, Secretary/Treasurer Adam Kilgas. The sophomore class officers are President Courtney Hietpas, Vice-President Isaiah Engle, and Secretary/Treasurer Morgan Trzebiatowski. Your brand new Freshman class officers are President Timothy Buchholz, Vice-President Cameron Hudziak, and Secretary/Treasurer Hunter Janssen.
When asked what being a class officer means to him, Vice President Nate Hietpas said “To me it means I can represent my peers in the Junior class in a positive manner. It is a true honor to have received the recognition among my classmates to be voted Vice President.”
When asked about the plans for prom, Junior Class President Jonah Olson said, “We have a new DJ that is being tried out from Fortune Entertainment, it will be a really good time. Like, a really, really, really, really good time. 2020 woohoo!”

The New Little Chute High School
by Caitlynn Steiner
In 2018 Little Chute High School took a huge step in repairing the facility. Conditions were bad and even dangerous for the students. The roof was way past its life expectancy, the heating and cooling systems were failing, the kitchen was inadequate for proper meal preparation, and there just wasn't enough room in the school students to do after school activities. The total renovation cost for the new school was $17.8M, and was not to exceed. Miron, the construction company that did the new renovations, finished the project in just a little under a year! The look is amazing.
In addition to fixing the roof, ventilation and kitchen, the company added more spaces to improve the education and comfortability of the school. These additions include a new media center to update and consolidate the two existing libraries, renovation for the creation of STEM electronics and CAD labs, flexible learning environments for small group instruction (collaboration spaces), better current offices for FLEX Academy classrooms, expansion of the workout rooms and relocation of multi-purpose/wrestling rooms, the new district office, and a reconfiguration of the parking lot to improve safety.
From a student's perspective, I think the new renovations are excellent for feeling more comfortable at school, especially in the collaboration spaces and library. Students like to spend their free-time in the comfy chairs that have been added to the spaces. The design of the new school also gets us students ready to the feel of college. That was the main goal of the design according to District Administrator Botz. In an article he says, ¨This project will truly revolutionize how our professional educators facilitate for all of our students.¨ Which means the restoration of the school will make teaching easier for the teachers as well as learning for the students. The reno will definitely make a positive impact on the student's learning and education.

Autumn Concert
by Adam Hafkey
Monday, October fifteenth was the autumn concert. This was the first concert of the 2018-2019 school year. The choir has been getting ready for this since the beginning of the school year. Since this was a Halloween concert, choir members had to wear costumes. I asked two people some questions about the concert. I asked them why they wanted to join choir, what was one of their favorite parts of this concert and what was one of their favorite songs they sang in the concert. The answer I got from both of them was their favorite song they sang was “Time Warp”. Marki Hietpas said her favorite part of this concert was the song “Time Warp” because the movie it comes from is one of her favorites. Logan Enger said his favorite part was his solo during the “Zombie Jamboree”. Logan Enger states, “Choir is one of the few things that Logan enjoys to do since he gets to sing.” Also Marki Hietpas answered, "I am in choir to improve my skills as a musician, and so I can learn how to use my voice as it develops. I'm also in choir for the team and family aspect. Being in choir allows me to lead the group and develop new skills to be a leader.” This is the last year for all the seniors for choir. They love singing. They are all skilled to be performing to the big audiences that show up to all the concerts.
