Last week at East School, students celebrated the 100th day of school in style by dressing up like they were 100 years old! The costumes alone were incredible, from gray wigs to walking canes, but the acting ability truly took it to the next level. Our “100-year-olds” fully embraced their roles. Amazing work by our 1st-grade team

Mrs. Zuhlke's class read the story "We Are All Wonders" by R. J. Palacio! The heartwarming message? Every one of us is a wonder, and our uniqueness makes us truly special!

After soaking in the story, her first graders got creative by making “You are a Wonder” posters. They filled each other's posters with compliments, shining a spotlight on the wonderful qualities of their classmates. Their posters will be proudly displayed above their coat hooks for the rest of the month, reminding everyone daily just how wonderful they are! Let’s keep celebrating our uniqueness and spreading kindness!

Ms. Kerska's awesome AVID 11 students enjoyed partaking in some heart drawings and messages of appreciation in the LMC this morning. Stop by to see their beautiful work and shout-outs. Such a fun activity! And they were lucky enough to get serenaded by our choir during their singing Valentine's rounds!

Last week, our Baraboo 4K team hosted a fantastic Family Night! The evening was filled with fun activities including snacks, coloring, a bracelet-making station, an obstacle course, a photo booth, and a family reading area.

The turnout was amazing, and it was wonderful to see our students, families, and staff enjoying time together.

Thank you to our incredible staff for their hard work in making this event such a success!

While the sound system at GLW was being updated, students took to the sled hill for PE. Students bundled up with their boots, snow pants, and winter gear for some days of sledding! They all had a blast and quickly realized that climbing back up the hill was excellent exercise!

While the water is a happy place, it is also a place where learning is critical. For children with autism, the risk of drowning is 160 times that of the general pediatric population. Because many children on the spectrum are prone to "wandering" toward bodies of water, adaptive swim programs are literally life-saving. These sessions teach water safety and buoyancy in a way that respects each student's unique learning style and pace.

We apologize for any confusion this might have caused. If you already completed the form, you do not need to complete it again.
