GO CHARGERS!
As part of the district’s Day of Action activities, our Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade students took part in a heartwarming project to spread positivity throughout the community. The students painted colorful and inspiring rocks that now fill our B/E Kindness Rock Garden — a special space designed to encourage acts of kindness.
The garden invites all to “take one, share one, or leave one” to keep kindness growing. Each rock, painted with care and creativity, carries a message or image meant to brighten someone’s day.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Bob Wagner for generously donating the rocks that fill the garden, and to John Sullivan for his time and effort in helping bring this project to life. Their support helped turn a simple idea into a meaningful and lasting display of kindness from our youngest students.
The 4th Graders went to Lake Carlos State Park. They learned all about frogs and toads, went geocaching, and ended the day with a bald eagle hike.
Mrs. Boersma's 5th grade has been collaborating with Mrs. VanKempen and Mrs. Wendt's 2nd grade classes weekly this school year. 5th grade "Buddies" work with the 2nd graders in small groups on reading activities, phonics, science projects, art activities, and more. This week, they decorated sidewalks in Evansville and made Kindness Club cards as part of their Day of Action activities.
Congratulations to Lauren Thoennes with a 2nd place finish at Sections today in the 400m, qualifying her for the MSHSL STATE TOURNAMENT! This time also broke her own school record with a time of 59.68. Way to go, Lauren!

Myles Boesl
Myles has become a very dedicated student. He turns in his work on time, participates in class, and gives his best effort. He works well with anyone he is partnered with. He works hard, is friendly, and helps peers. Myles also takes feedback well and uses it to make improvements in his own work.
Amelia Evjen
Amelia is a wonderful student, she communicates with teachers when shes gone, helps peers with assignments, and is always delightful with a smile on her face.
Kanden Englund
Kaden has really stepped up this year to do what he needs to get his schoolwork done. He doesn't always enjoy what he is doing, but he will still get it done with no complaints.

Did you know that ninety percent of a child’s brain development happens before the age of 5? That’s why Brandon Preschool is looking for Early Learning Corps tutors to help our youngest learners make a strong start in school.
Tutors serve during school hours and spend their days in a pre-kindergarten classroom helping students ages 3-5 talk, read, write, sing, and play. With the support of an on-site coach, you’ll also be trained to deliver activities proven to help students build early reading and math skills.
A part-time (25 hours a week) position for the 2025-26 school year is available. Tutors receive a paycheck every two weeks plus an education award to pay for qualifying student loans or college tuition. Tutors aged 55 or older may gift the education award to their child, grandchild, stepchild, step-grandchild, or foster child.
Ready to put your passion in action to help more students get ready for kindergarten? Learn more or apply at Join.ReadingandMath.org.

5th graders spent two days at Lutheran Island Camp for the annual "Camp Out" outdoor educational experience. They tried out activities such as sandcastle building, fire making, hatchet throwing, slingshots, team-building games, canoeing and kayaking, and more! They had an absolute blast continuing this tradition.
The 7th grade Ag class finished their PJ pants last week.
