Today a group of juniors visited UW-River Falls to learn about their campus, majors, and all the opportunities they offer. We had a great time, and even got to visit one of their farms!
Juniors and Sophomores toured Western Technical College and Badger Building Center in La Crosse today. What a great opportunity to see some choices they can make after high school!
One of the many benefits of being a 4K–12 school is the opportunity for students of all ages to learn and grow together. Today, our high school art students spent time helping our youngest elementary students with their clay projects, creating connections that go far beyond the classroom.
The younger students loved learning from the older students, while our high schoolers had the chance to lead, encourage, and share their creativity. Experiences like these build confidence, strengthen school community, and remind us that learning happens best when we support one another.
