Student Council

The Student Council had a busy month.  We celebrated our seniors by first collecting advice from the graduates and displaying it for the rest of the student body to see.  We also took a vote to see how the seniors wanted to kick off their last week and breakfast won!  A delicious spread of donuts, bagels, muffins, fruit, juices, and coffee was provided as they were told to “Savor [the] Last Week!”  As the group said goodbye to graduating officers, they voted in new faces who will take over next year: President: Shelby Hessel, Vice President: Lauren Wiita, Secretary/Social Media: Hannah Peterson, Treasurer: Reagan Eberhardt.  Mrs. Regner is resigning (best to you!!!), so Mrs. Fechtelkotter will continue on as advisor next school year.
       

Trap Club

The Spring 2025 Season is just about over,  except for the fun night, where we’ll play games such as, “Annie Oakley” and “ Back Your Buddy.”  Parents can join in if they are inclined. There will also be a potluck picnic. Hamburgers and hotdogs provided by the club, and families can bring a dish to share. The State Tournament in Rome WI, will be held the 2nd weekend in June.
