A special new tradition was started at this year’s Fort Atkinson Girls Volleyball banquet! 🏐❤️ Each senior had the chance to “leave their mark” on the blocking box used at practices. Hannah Baldry, Caroline Anderson, and Savanna Hendrickson each added their fingerprint and a meaningful phrase they wanted to leave with the program. These three seniors have made a lasting impact, and their leadership and spirit will be greatly missed. Thank you for everything you’ve given to the volleyball program! 🖤🤍
Students and families at Barrie came together to enjoy a delicious turkey lunch during our Fall Family Meal! 🍂

We also featured a touching Veterans Day display honoring past and current service members. 🇺🇸

Three of our students, Lily Rottmann, Daisy Heussner, and Maia Price, along with their advisor Mrs. Jenna Zangl, attended the Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation Summit at Turner Hall on Friday, November 7.
Last spring, these students conducted interviews with community members, peers, and state representatives to gather data on overall wellbeing and social media trends. That important information helped shape the conversations and activities at Friday’s summit. 💡
Working side by side with community partners, our students helped create a shared vision for a thriving Jefferson and Dodge Counties. 🌍👏

The Purdy Green Team held their first event last week and made a great start. K through 5 members helped with a fall clean up in the courtyard and painted rocks that will be added to our sensory space.
Purdy Elementary students had a fantastic time connecting with our dedicated local Police Officers and Firefighters this week! Our heroes in uniform joined students for lunch and recess, sharing smiles, laughter, and fun. We are so grateful for their service and commitment, and we truly value these meaningful moments that help build a stronger, safer community.
Since the start of the school year, Mrs. Young’s class at Luther School has been working hard toward their goal of earning 100 scores of 100% on iReady!
Their dedication to iReady Reading and Math has truly paid off. Every time a student earned 100% on a lesson, they got to write their initials on the donut. Today, they celebrated their hard work with a well-deserved donut snack party! 🎉
