Middle School Teacher Larry Dorenkamp
​Selected a Fulbright Roving Scholar

Picture
The Fulbright Roving Scholars Program was established in 1987, and brings highly skilled American teachers to Norway to teach and lead seminars for both students and teachers.  Roving Scholars are expected to be broadly knowledgeable in a variety of fields; their lessons focus on American history and culture, often combined with innovative and inspiring ideas on pedagogy and teaching methods.  The Roving Scholar Program is a unique Norwegian Fulbright opportunity that does not exist in other countries.
​

Each year, The U.S.-Norway Fulbright Foundation offers three awards for Roving scholars to visit lower secondary schools (student ages 14-16) or upper secondary schools (ages 16-18). A two-year pilot program for a regional Rover in Østfold started in 2021-22 and will continue in 2023-24. This Rover serves lower and upper secondary schools and makes contributions to the work of the Norwegian Centre for Foreign Languages in Education and Østfold University College.

NHEA Members Support Red Ribbon Week

GRASSROOT BEGINNINGS
Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985.  In honor of  Kiki's memory and his battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin.  Parents then began to form coalitions using Camarena as their model while embracing his belief that one person can make a difference. These coalitions adopted the symbol of Camarena's memory, the Red Ribbon. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities

At the Middle School, the staff is wearing neon to show that “Our Future is Too Bright For Drugs and the staff is dressing alike and “Doubling, Tripling, or Grouping up against drugs and bullying!”
