The link to today's video was incorrect in the previous email. Please click the link below to view the announcement video for June 2. Mr. Bestor is explaining why there's TWO National Days highlighted in today's daily announcement video! To find the reason, watch the video now.

Throughout June, Pride Month is celebrated as we look back on the Stonewall riots in Manhattan in June 1969. The Stonewall Riots were sparked by the police raid of the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969. The bar had a reputation for being friendly to the LGBT community, but in the 1960s in New York, certain behavior was considered inappropriate and even illegal. Once the raid began, it soon led to a riot that raged for six days. While the riots weren’t an organizing force for a civil rights movement, it was a rallying point.

Throughout the month of June, communities across the country hold parades, workshops, celebrations, and concerts. Marches for civil rights and awareness also take place. The month is a time for remembering those who paved the way for the LGBTQIA community and who continue to do so. It’s a time for education and breaking down barriers, too. Take some time this month to look back at the changes and see what more work still needs to be done.

The best way to celebrate Great Outdoors Month is to get outdoors and witness the greatness for yourself. Here are some spots we suggest to experience all our state has to offer:

First up is Pewit’s Nest, a natural area best-known for its sweeping views located in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Pewit’s Nest is also an ideal cliff jumping destination for the adventurers out there.

While in Baraboo feel free to also visit Parfrey’s Glen. One of the most visited places in the state, Parfrey’s Glen offers a great hike and scenic views of our world-renowned glaciated landscapes.

Nearby, Baxter’s Hollow is a lesser-known treasure and bird-watching paradise where you can experience the beauty of nature without the congestion of tourists.

Only an hour away, Kohler-Andrae State Park is also worth a visit. The park’s beach access, camping areas, and sand dunes make Kohler-Andrae the ultimate summertime spot. Nearby, Harrington Beach offers similar views but with less traffic.

You may also want to consider visiting Horicon Marsh, one of the nation's largest interior marshes. It is home to a diverse amount of wildlife and has many great hiking and paddling opportunities!

If you aren’t up for the drive, we have plenty of outdoor areas just fifteen minutes from the high school. Feel free to check out Lapham Peak, Vernon Marsh, and Retzer Nature all within Waukesha County.

The FRC Laser Robotics team designs, fabricates, builds, and programs robots for competition and demos. Students interested in marketing, public relations, social media, photography, video, and graphic arts the Laser Robotics team has a place for you. We will meet this summer on Mondays from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm in room B33.

The Boy’s Varsity Lasers beat Catholic Memorial on Monday night with a run scored at the bottom of the 7th to win 5 - 4. Adam D. went 6 innings allowing only 5 hits and kept the game close with great fielding by the team. The game was tied up in the bottom of the 6th with 3 all when Nolan S. hit a single shot home run to get the Lasers up by one. CMH was able to get a run back, setting up for an exciting 7th inning with JJ R. on the mound. He successfully held CMH to no runs. The final run was scored with the pressure of Ryan B. at the plate, a wild pitch advanced Jonah W. from third to home. A great victory for the squad who will be back at it Wednesday at CMH.

The Girl’s Varsity Softball Team defeated Waukesha West last night by a score of 4-1. Maddy Dishaw had 2 hits, Carmen Follette had 2 hits including a triple, and Ava Sander pitched a great game striking out 10 batters.
