GOOD JOB, SPEAKERS!
Parents, are your students missing any winter gear or clothing? Maybe one shoe got away? We have quite the stockpile of lost and found. At the conclusion of parent-teacher conferences, whatever items still left will be donated. Please take the time to look through the collection.
Mrs. Steinmetz's class recently created handcrafted musical instruments and then showed them off in their own marching band. Creative and fun learning!
Cat's Pajamas, the choir showcase that was originally scheduled for tomorrow night in the High School gym, has been postponed. A future date has not yet been set. Stay tuned!
Congratulations to both the Class of 2019 Valedictorian, Julia Schoen and the Class of 2019 Salutatorian, Diego Ortiz!
Our forensics team competes tonight in Boscobel at the Sub-district competition. This sub-district and district is one of the most distinguished in the state! Good luck!
As you received in the mail, you know that we are reviewing/recreating our mission and vision.
The mission is what we stand for and why we exist. Our current mission was created by former board, admin, faculty, staff, parents, and community.
As we review/rewrite, we hope you all will actively involve yourself in the process. On Tuesday, February 19th at 6pm, a special school board meeting will begin to address this. All community members, regardless if they currently have students in school, as well as staff are asked to participate in these meetings.
Reminder: “Written Off” will be shown on Lone Rock on February 17th and in Richland Center on February 25th. In 2016, more lives were lost to drug addiction than were lost in the Vietnam War. This film chronicles the life of Matthew Edwards, whose addiction to opioids began at age 15, after being prescribed pain medicine for a minor surgery. His grippingly honest writing reveals the secrets he tried so hard to conceal throughout a decade long struggle to escape addiction. Details for the viewings may be found on our website or on our app under News.
Lot's of Valentine's Day celebrations went on at school yesterday. Here is Mrs. Steinmetz's class with their boxes.

The February PTSO meeting will be held next Wednesday, February 20, at 3:30 p.m. in the LMC. We hope to see you there.
Popcorn Friday has been moved to NEXT Friday, February 22. Sorry the the inconvenience!

Reminder! It's time for the second boxtops and milkcaps collection! FYI: the milkcaps program is ending in March. Elementary students bring in your items by February 15 so they can be sorted and counted. Remember: the class that collects the most gets a treat at the end of the year!
Students enjoyed the snow piles and sledding hill today!
