Great Things I Noticed this Week:
- HUGE thank you to all the different tasks of high school staff on Tuesday - proctoring the ACT, relieving staff for breaks while supervising students, supervising on the field trips, etc. It was a successful day!
- Our juniors took the ACT exam seriously and several mentioned their appreciation for tips they learned from teachers to prepare for the ACT.
- In a parent meeting, the parent told his daughter that the reason he got through school was that staff member in the meeting from when he was in school. Sometimes it takes years to see the harvest of our seeds planted, but it feels so good when it does!
- We had an alumni panel for our juniors to hear about life after high school - military, work, college options and lessons learned in life.
- Our freshmen and our sophomores had field trips to local businesses, MPTC and Fox Valley Technical College. It was great to hear students find interests in possible jobs/careers that they didn't even know about before.
- As new unit math terms were introduced, the Spanish terms were also introduced. The spanish speaking student beamed with a smile while getting to teacher peers how to pronounce it as they tried to repeat it.
