This week's student of the week is Celia DeGroot, an eighth grader, daughter of Skylar and Nicole DeGroot, and sister to Marcella. Some of Celia's favorite hobbies include basketball, reading, and spending time with her mom. She loves going to the beach and hanging out with her friends. The thing that Celia is most proud of this school year is keeping her grades up and achieving high honors. During the school day, she looks forward to English with her favorite teacher, Mr. Hoolihan, because he always makes sure they are getting what they need to succeed. Lastly, Celia's favorite school lunch is Pizza Boats. Congratulations, Celia, and keep up the amazing work!
This week's Student of the Week is Finnian Smith. In school, his favorite class is Social Studies, and playing outside for recess. When he isn't out on the field, he’s likely at home hanging out with his brother Josh and their squad of pets, Ralphie, Gus, and Daisy. Finnian is a total creative at heart; he loves drawing, cartoons, and movies. His favorite school lunch is pizza, and if he had to choose one superpower, it would be web-slinging like Spiderman. He has summer plans to help his parents, Marcy and Matt, at the Stone Barn! When he grows up, he wants to be a famous sports player or an actor. Congrats to Finnian Smith on being Student of the Week!

Our 4th graders wrapped up an incredible round of Math Inquiry Projects in the lab, and WOW… the creativity, problem solving, and perseverance they showed was amazing!
Students planned, designed, measured, built, revised, and problem-solved their way through projects completely driven by their own interests and ideas. From sports stadiums and rodeos to horse pens, gaming setups, mini classrooms, salons, bedrooms, and original games. Every project looked different because every learner followed their own path.
Throughout the process, students practiced real-world math skills like measurement, geometry, spatial reasoning, planning, budgeting materials, and precision building while also building durable skills like collaboration, resilience, creativity, and independence.
One of the best parts? Watching students navigate challenges on their own, rethink designs, make adjustments, and take true ownership of their learning. The lab was full of teamwork, critical thinking, and proud moments.
So proud of the hard work these students put into bringing their ideas to life!

On Thursday, sophomores and juniors took part in the PUSH Hands-On Skills Day in Rice Lake. They tried out heavy machinery and spoke with industry professionals about getting started in fiber optic work. Companies like Flemco and Condux were there to share more about the field. Students picked up useful skills, such as splicing and fusing fiber optic lines. After the activities, they chatted with vendors, won hats, and played games with Don Johnson. The event wrapped up at 1 p.m., and everyone enjoyed lunch from Kwik Trip. Overall, the day gave students a hands-on look into possible career paths and helped them learn more about opportunities in the skilled trades industry.
Calling all 6th grade families!! Awards night is next Thursday, May 14. Dinner starts at 6:15pm with awards beginning at 6:45pm.
