My Students

Our student body is made up of students growing up in rural Southwestern Wisconsin that are curious and inspired to learn about the world beyond the community and area. They push themselves to learn new things and are excited to incorporate media and technology into their classroom activities and projects.

I'm proud to be a part of a school where the students are driven, hard-working, and goal-oriented; they lift each other up​ and encourage one another.

They have created a strong community within the student body and support one another in academics and extracurriculars.

My Project

We would like to add A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier to our classroom library. This novel can teach our students about the travesties of human suffering and war in other parts of the world. It is critical for our students to have engaging novels that teach them about other cultures.

The students here have explained that they receive most of their knowledge of other people and cultures through the literature we read together in class.

Reading together can offer them an opportunity to reflect and discuss topics and ideas that they may not consider when reading media headlines.
