What Type are you?

Did you know people with Type O blood are universal donors? Be a blood donor and find out your type! Nicolet's HOSA club is hosting a blood drive with the American Red Cross October 30th in Gym 2.

Students 17 years old (or 16 years old with parental permission) are encouraged to donate. All donors will receive a $10 Amazon gift card.

Visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter sponsor code Nicolet to book your appointment.

We are raising funds to help our ProStart Culinary Management students experience exciting hospitality events, including the ProStart Invitational and Cook Around the World in Orlando, Florida. Students will compete, learn hands-on from industry professionals and celebrity chefs, and explore hospitality careers. Students are participating in a Service-A-Thon, where donors can make a flat donation or pledge a specific amount per service hour completed. Every donation helps!

No dance experience is required. Just come ready to have fun, dance, and celebrate Tovah with friends and family.

Virtual ACT Workshop
In this virtual ACT workshop (via Zoom) students will learn how to identify the types of questions they will see on the four multiple-choice sections of the ACT test as well as a variety of strategies to attack the various questions. The instructor has designed this workshop based on over 30 years of successfully helping students prepare for the ACT. The program takes place virtually Sundays, October 4 - November 1 from 6:30 - 8:30pm

🚩 This is different than the Nicolet subsidized ACT prep program meant to prepare students for the March ACT test

On behalf of The Friendship Circle of Wisconsin, I would like to personally invite you to attend our annual One Thing I Wish You Knew Mental Health Community Event on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 3pm - 5:00pm. at the Italian Community Center in Milwaukee.

All 4 of this years teen speakers are Nicolet Students.

One Thing I Wish You Knew has grown into the largest mental health convening of its kind in Wisconsin, bringing together hundreds of community members, educators, healthcare professionals, first responders, students, families, and advocates for an afternoon dedicated to mental health awareness, education, and hope.

The event begins with a large community mental health resource fair, where attendees can connect with dozens of organizations offering support and services. Following the resource fair, four courageous teens will take the stage to share their personal mental health journeys in a powerful TED Talk-style program that encourages understanding, reduces stigma, and reminds others that they are not alone.

We hope you will be able to join us on November 15!

Every year, our community teens share what they wish others understood about their struggles and resilience — and for so many students, one adult at school made all the difference. This award recognizes the high school counselors, behavioral health professionals, and faculty students say showed up for them.

The City of Glendale is excited to host the annual Glendale Spooktacular on Saturday, October 24 from 5:00–8:00 PM at Richard E. Maslowski Community Park & Beer Garden!
