Patty Means' HCS kindergarten class took its monthly mission trip to Cherokee Oct. 26. They visited the Cherokee Manor where they sang to the residents and presented each one with a paper pumpkin with a prayer written on it.

The students were studying the letter "G," so they visited the grocery story. They walked the aisles looking for the letter "G" on products.

They were given a tour of the freezer, meat department and given a gumball by Scott Smith, manager of United Supermarket. The Nash Christian Church Christian Women's Fellowship group served the students lunch, followed by a visit to the Nash Post Office where they met postmaster Lark Schultz and toured the post office, bought a stamp and mailed a letter to themselves.

Cindy Johndrow's HCS fifth-grade students presented a chapel program Oct. 26. Salutes to the flags and Bible were led by audience members Taylor Olsen, Emilee Marlatt and Cole Carpenter. Hayden Bonine opened in prayer. The subject of the program was joy and the students performed as the Joy Dancers dressed in pillowcases with faces.

Students in the audience received tickets for good behavior throughout the day before the chapel program. Those with tickets received a color-coded bell and a bell concert was held with two songs about Joy.

The students then performed a skit showing a bad attitude brings no joy but happiness depends on a person's attitude. Portrayers were Blake Burchel, MacKenzie Hoffsommer, Kyla Nesmith, Branden Meier, Logan Hayes, Alyssa Shearer, McKayla Kuykendall, Ricki Schroeder and Brannon Willis. At the end of the program, each student quoted a different passage of scripture.
