Cool School --- Haddam-Killingworth
 
 
HK was featured as this week's "Cool School" on Channel 3. To access a few clips from the event you can go to WFSB.com and click on the appropriate link.  The students did an outstanding job of showing the rest of the viewing area just how much spirit, energy, and enthusiasm they have here at HK
 
There are so many people to thank for making this such a success:
            * the students-for showing their true colors
            * our custodial staff and Mr. Jim Kane for setting up the field house and necessary TV equipment
            * our cafeteria staff who arrived around 3:00 a.m. to make sure all would be fed
            * our staff for coming in and supporting our students and our school
            ** a special thanks to the parents for making the early morning sacrifice and making it possible for our students to enjoy this success
 
Unfortunately some things that were in the original plans to televise did not make it due to the stormy conditions. A more than usual amount of the station's time was devoted to tracking the stormy conditions and informing the viewing audience of roads conditions and accidents. In fact, at one point, Mike Hydeck informed me that we might not to able to continue going live because of lightning here at HK.  The fear was that they would have to lower the antennas on the TV trucks. Thankfully, it never got to that point.  I extend my apologies to those few who did not receive the air time.
 
HK is a "Cool School."  You help make it so. Thank you all for allowing us to show some of the finer sides of our high school.
