Thunderbird Thursday Update
Dec. 22, 2016
Happy Holidays!







Happy Holidays from the Baraboo School District! Thank you for sharing in our mission to help every child in our district engage, learn and grow. We are looking forward to a great 2017! 

We wanted to share this sweet moment from the holiday program in Mrs. Benson's 4K AM class at West. Mrs. Thomas is Mrs. Benson's assistant teacher, a sometimes unsung job that is so important in every one of our classrooms across the district. This little guy sensed Mrs. Thomas standing behind him, and leaned into her to get a little comfort and reassurance at the end of the performance, and of course she obliged.

We are  #Barabooproud  that we can provide a space where every child feels celebrated and supported as they learn and grow. 
Winter Carnival at West
West Kindergarten Center had a great turnout at its annual Winter Carnival this week, with family meals and hands-on learning activities that multiple generations did together. 















Sharing the Love
The Baraboo High School Treble Choir went to Oak Park Place this week to sing to the residents there and help them with some fun card and ornament projects. Great work!
