Senior Spotlight – Isabella Abram 🎓

We’re shining the spotlight on the Class of 2026!

🎓 Plans after graduation:
I plan on attending UW–Madison.

🌟 Favorite Subject:
English — any English class I’ve been in has always been fun for me.

🌟 Best Memory:
Some of my favorite memories were during the state dance pep rallies when a group of boys would dance. It was always so fun to teach them the routine and watch them perform. I also really enjoyed homecoming week and all of the activities.

🌟 Favorite Teachers:
I don’t have just one favorite, but I have a top few: Mrs. Lane because she was always there for me to talk to; Mrs. Schultz because she feels like the school’s motherly figure; and Mrs. Hanson because she always pushed me and believed in me. Honestly, I don’t think I disliked any of my teachers.

🌟 Activities:
Cheer, Dance, NHS, FBLA, Student Council, Above & Beyond, TADD, Hope Squad, and Yearbook

🌟 What I’ll Miss Most:
I’ll miss being able to hang out with my friends all the time and the conversations we had in class when we didn’t have anything to work on (even though we probably did).

🌟 **Advice for Younger Classmen:**
Learn how to balance academics and your social life. Stay on top of your work, but also make time to be with others. Don’t compare yourself to others, worry about being perfect, or be scared to try new things. Be yourself. 🤍

Best wishes, Isabella! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! 🧡🖤

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ 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!
