Trojan Classic.
Shepard Show Choir Places at
Third Straight Contest
NOVA, the show choir from Shepard High School, took 3rd Place at the
Chesterton Trojan Classic last month.
This season, NOVA has won a trophy at all three of its competitions — a
historic achievement.
“NOVA took 3rd place in their class at one of the most competitive shows
in the Midwest,” Shepard choral director Roland Hatcher said. “These
kids were amazing; and as far back as records can show me, this is the
first Shepard show choir to place top three at every contest they attended
in a season. They went toe to toe with some powerhouse programs all
season and raised the bar for years to come.”

Yoga Students Send Cards to Children in Distress
60445
Yoga enhances the connections among mind, body, and spirit.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, instructor Mary Noren found a novel way to
infuse some spiritual teaching into her yoga classes at Shepard High School.
“I had heard about the organization Cardz for Kidz on the radio and when I
learned more about it, I just knew I wanted to do this with my classes,” she said.
Cardz for Kidz collects and distributes uplifting cards to all ages of people across
the globe. The recipients include, but are not limited to, sick children in the
hospital, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, and kids in foster care.
“I supplied my yoga students with endless amounts of paper, stickers, scissors,
glue, and some students brought their own artistic materials in as well, like
watercolor paints,” Noren said.
They worked using Google, Pinterest, and their own creative ideas to design
uplifting and positive cards for individuals going through hard times. They
impressed Noren.
Yoga students from Richards High School created cards for the charitable
organization Cardz for Kidz.

“To say I am overwhelmed by their generosity and creativity would be an
understatement. I just wanted to teach them about kindness, paying it forward
and helping others in need, and they exceeded my expectations,” she said.
