Elizabeth Van Rixel and Nathan Wolf have qualified for the Sectional Cross Country Race Saturday October 24th in Three Lakes.
Ms. Borchardt’s 3rd grade students have been working on giving positive compliments to their peers to build others up and to create an empowering learning environment. Every morning, during our morning meeting, we recognize our “Bluejay of the Day.” To model how this activity should look, we invited Mrs. Redmann, Mr. Nowacki, and Ms. Larsen to be our Bluejay’s of the Day! The students had so many awesome things to share about each of these individuals and all they do in our school! It is so cool to witness our 3rd grade students be kind people and compliment not only the teachers, but now each other during this daily activity! Keep spreading kindness like confetti 3rd graders! 🤩😁
Lets please give a big Bluejay welcome back to Athens to Roger Bloomer who is our new High School Business & Information Technology teacher.
"I am looking forward to getting reacquainted with the families in this small community. Athens is a really neat place and the people have always been wonderful to work with." - Mr. Bloomer
Our year started with self-portraits for our elementary artists. Each class had a color and was able to use analogous colors in their drawing. Here is a visual representation of our school!
