Mrs. Salbreiter's Advanced Spanish students "battling" stem-changing verbs with Battleship and a flash card sort.
For the second half to the morning on February 29th the DRIVEN leadership/bullying assembly was a success in the eyes of our students. I spent some time this week talking to students after the assembly and they said they really liked having time in small groups to talk to HS students and thought what they said was helpful and also thought the final two speeches from Hegeman and Reba were powerful. GREAT day overall!
Congrats to Steve Berezowitz and the Varsity Boys Basketball team as they will be heading to the sectionals game this Thursday night @ Wilmot versus Fort Atkinson. They took down Waterford this past weekend and are the Regional Champs! Nice job and come out to support them this Thursday night!
