BHS Grads Greeted with Cheers and High-Fives
|
Baraboo High School's graduating seniors had an opportunity to practice their Grand March this morning.
The seniors donned their caps and graduation gowns and boarded a bus to tour the elementary schools and middle school during the third annual Senior Grad Walk.
Grads were greeted with cheering and high-fives as they paraded through Jack Young Middle School, Gordon L. Willson Elementary, North Freedom Elementary, West Kindergarten Center, Al Behrman Elementary, and East Elementary.
This tradition has a duel purpose. The seniors have the opportunity to take a grand march down memory lane, reminiscing with former teachers and seeing their old classrooms and the schools that brought them to where they are today, while also being celebrated by the younger students. Seeing the graduates, the younger students have a real-life example of what they are working toward as they go through their own educational journey toward graduation. Bonus: everyone had fun!
Congratulations, Baraboo High School Seniors, and good luck at tomorrow's graduation and your future beyond Baraboo High School! We are #Barabooproud of all you have accomplished during your Baraboo School District careers and look forward to seeing all you will accomplish in the years to come.

BHS Fitness Classroom Grand Reveal
|
On May 25th, Baraboo High School revealed the new Fitness Classroom, built as part of the Phase II: Revitalize Baraboo High School referendum passed in November 2016.
Students lined up to enter the state-of-the-art classroom after rousing tunes from the BHS Marching Band and an introduction from BHS principal Mr. Glenn Bildsten and District Administrator Dr. Lori Mueller.
In 2012, the Baraboo School Board members worked with the community to decide what the needs of the district were. In the 2014 referendum, the focus was on school safety. When the committee met again, they agreed that the next focus needed to be on Baraboo High School.
Dr. Mueller addressed the students before the reveal, telling them, "A lot of your teachers and a lot of your coaches said 'This fitness room has to happen;' that we have gone too many years, too many decades, as a school community competing in the Badger Conference without an appropriate fitness space. ...In 2016, the Baraboo Community made a huge investment on [the students] and the school. They voted to pay more taxes so that you can have something that you can cherish for years to come.
So, when you come into this space today, and when you are in this space throughout your years here at Baraboo High School, my request is this: treat it as a gift, because this is an amazing gift from your community. We want to take care of it so that it continues to be a place of Baraboo pride."
We are #Barabooproud to live in a community that supports our schools, our students, and education! Thank you, Baraboo!

| End-of-the-Year Picnic Excitement at East |
A sure sign that the school is coming to a close is the very popular school picnic at East Elementary. Students, families and family friends were invited to a mid day picnic school lunch on Friday, May 25. Our students, staff and guests were patient as our 350 students and an additional 100 individuals participated in the popular social event. We were grateful we did not have any raindrops, though several dozen uninvited mosquitoes also attended.
A special thank you to our families who continue to support our students, staff and school. We are a better school with all of this support and special event participation. (Our food service Director, Mary Loveless. and our kitchen staff are also a key members to this picnic success. We extend our thanks to them , too.)

| A Class of Published Authors at GLW! |
Students in Mrs. Laux's first grade classroom at Gordon L. Willson Elementary wrote and published their own class book. They each wrote and drew about their favorite animal and a poem about themselves. Mrs. Laux sent the "manuscript" into a publishing company. The company bound and published the books.
On May 23, the class had a publishing party where the kids got to "walk the red carpet" and share their writing with family members. They also got to use the photo booth that was set up in the classroom to take some fun pictures to celebrate this awesome occasion.
