Today, the students in Advanced Biology took a field trip to Emiquon. They learned about the history of the wetland, the signs of a healthy wetland, collected samples, and took them back to the Therkildsen Field Station to examine all of the macro-invertebrates that they found. Everyone stayed dry (almost) and had a great time. Go Ducks!

English Three students spent the week investigating how miscommunications, vague pronouns, and grammatical slip-ups can impact businesses, ranging from food safety reports to corporate logistic emergencies. They presented their findings and demonstrated how professional clarity builds trust and prevents workplace confusion. Seeing them connect English skills directly to professional problem-solving was incredible!

8th grade athlete recognition begins at 5:20 Tuesday, October 6th. This includes cheerleaders and football players. Parents, please arrive by 5:15 at the north end of the bleachers.
