UPDATED: The water will be shut off all day today (June 6) and tomorrow (June 7) at the MS/HS due to construction.

Earlier this year, we were excited to learn that Kurt Meyer, middle school science and math teacher, was named the Wisconsin Council of Trout Unlimited Distinguished Service Youth Education Award winner. Mr. Meyer, who is an avid fly fisherman, was nominated for sharing his passion for cold water resources in the Driftless area in his classroom and with youth in the community. Congratulations!

Mrs. Kamps’ class participated in the United States Postal Service’s Pen Pal Project. Throughout the year they exchanged letters with Mr. Levy’s class at Briskin Elementary School. Briskin Elementary is located in Los Angeles, California. They recently were able to Zoom with their pen pals and see each other face to face. Mrs. Kamps’ class enjoyed asking questions about their school and California and Mr. Levy’s class wanted to know how they could stand the snow and cold! #fes #EaglesSoar
