🏃♂️🏃♀️ Getting Ready for Track Season! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Last week, several of our track and field coaches traveled to Madison to attend the annual WISTCA Coaches Clinic. They spent the weekend learning from experts from across the country and collaborating with fellow Wisconsin coaches to bring new ideas and energy back to our program.
They even had the incredible opportunity to meet and hear from two former U.S. Olympians! 🇺🇸✨
Our coaches are working hard behind the scenes to get everything prepped and ready for a great season ahead. Thunder Track is coming! ⚡🧡🖤

Last week, our juniors participated in Reality Check!
The Reality Check simulation addresses career development, financial literacy, college and career readiness and problem-solving. Students select a career, and are given a realistic income and family status. During their Reality Check they balanced a checkbook and had to navigate budgeting for the various expenses that would be incurred in a normal month including childcare, medical expenses, housing, and much more.
Thank you to the Eleva-Strum School District for hosting us this year, our community partners, and volunteers for collaborating with us on this event.

Hard-working 4th Grader Chloe Hicks brought in a very special artifact to share with her classmates this week: a photograph of her family farmstead, which was established in 1879. She shared about how important her family history and heritage is to her and her dream to continue to be in argriscience!
4th Graders learn all about Wisconsin's rich history from topics like logging and timber to fur trapping and agriculture (and everything in between!). We love watching them make connections and chase their dreams!
Chloe is definitely a student to watch- she's going to do big things!

💼✨ Entrepreneurship in Action! ✨💼
Last week, our FBLA students planned, marketed, and operated a Root Beer Float fundraiser and cotton candy sale to share some Valentine’s sweetness with our school community. From pricing strategy to customer service, they put real business skills to work. That’s what leadership development looks like. 💛

Senior Spotlight – Makaela Kiesow 🎓
We’re shining the spotlight on the Class of 2026!
🎓 Plans after graduation:
I plan to attend CVTC to complete my general education courses, then transfer to UW–Eau Claire to pursue a degree in teaching.
🌟 Favorite Subject:
Band — because I love playing my instrument and learning how to play new ones.
🌟 Best Memory:
Some of my best memories are from elementary school, going on lots of field trips and singing music whenever we wanted. Another favorite has been being a teacher’s assistant and getting to see my kids learn and grow. It’s always special to see them and show them care, just like they do for me.
🌟 Favorite Teacher:
Mrs. Lane-Neddermeyer, because she’s very nice, caring, funny, and just an all-around great person. Good vibes. 🙂
🌟 Activities:
Basketball, Volleyball, Track, Theater, and the Student Athletic Committee
🌟 What I’ll Miss Most:
Seeing my friends and participating in extracurricular activities.
🌟 Advice for Younger Classmen:
Keep up on your work — falling behind is one of the worst things you can do, and it’s hard to catch up. Be kind to everyone because you never know what others are going through. Ask for help when you need it; it’s not weak, it shows you care. Keep working hard and being yourself. 🙂
We’re excited to see where your journey takes you, Makaela! 🧡🖤

Thunder Spotlight: Casey Bauer!
One of our students recently combined a passion for agriculture with skills in 3D design by creating a detailed model of an International 1486 tractor. This project showcases how traditional industries and modern technology come together in today’s classrooms.
By using 3D modeling tools, students are learning how design, engineering, and agriculture intersect. Building skills that apply to careers in ag mechanics, manufacturing, and engineering.
Great work turning an interest into innovation!
