#PointerNation News

A big congrats to #PointerNation's Dealya Collins who placed 7th in Junior Girls Freestyle Nationals in Fargo and was named an All-American once again!

Things have been bustling in the school garden! Adventure Camp students have been hard at work -- Uplands Garden Club and so many wonderful families visited for a tour! Students shared what they love best about our garden and we all walked through the oak savanna. Visitors were gifted with a map of the oak savanna and a scavenger hunt, both created by summer school students. We all had a great time learning about and enjoying our amazing outdoor learning spaces! Thank you to all who attended!

Let's hear it for #PointerNation's Kasen Knight who has been named an All-State Trap Shooter by the Wisconsin State High School Clay Target League! This list recognizes the top 100 shooters in the state based on their season average. Way to go!

What a great time to camp! 1st Graders have been engaging in camping adventures and exploring during summer school!

2nd Graders in Summer Adventure Camp have been having fun with an animal search and match game!

Our super sweet Summer School scientists learned how to observe, form hypothesis/make predictions, conduct experiments, and analyze data -- all with gummy bears!

Summer Schoolers (aka Farmers) have been busy! They talked about the different things grown on a farm and made their own plate of farm foods and wrote about it!

Matthew Aurit and Reid Acherman participated Saturday in the Small School Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-Star game in Oshkosh! Congrats.

Thank you so much to our friends at the Mineral Point Car Show for your generous donation towards our Tech Ed and Agriculture Departments with $1,000 for each! This partnership over the years has helped take our students to the next level!
