Fall has officially arrived, and Week 7 brought plenty of Wildcat spirit along with some much colder temperatures! We had fantastic participation in our Homecoming Spirit Week dress-up days, followed by an exciting pep assembly. A big congratulations to 2nd, 4th, and 8th grade for winning the Spirit Stick for the most participation! These classrooms will get to proudly display the Spirit Stick for the remainder of the school year. Way to show your Wildcat pride! 🐾
Tonight is Homecoming Parade and game day! Let’s cheer on our Badgers and enjoy a great night of school spirit. Go Badgers! 🏈❤️

Each week, we’ll feature a joke, fun fact, or riddle from one of our amazing students!
This week’s fun fact comes from Evelyn (4th Grade):
🌎 Did you know that if there were a large enough body of water, Saturn could float on it?
Proof that even planets have an easier time staying afloat than parents do during a busy school week! 😂🪐
Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy the fall festivities!
Together in Education,
