On Monday, Ms. Graebel’s class went on a day adventure made possible by funds raised through the coffee shop proudly run by our Special Education students ☕👏
During the trip, students had the opportunity to shop for Christmas presents for their own families and also used additional coffee shop funds to purchase gifts that will be donated to families in the community ❤️🎁 While shopping, students practiced important life skills by learning how to budget their money and make thoughtful spending decisions.
The learning started well before the trip! In the days leading up, students worked together to calculate meal costs, figure out tax, learn what appropriate tipping looks like, and plan within a set budget. They also practiced real-life communication skills by making phone calls and sending emails to reserve a room and ask about group discounts 📞📧
After a well-earned lunch at Pizza Ranch 🍕, we headed back and wrapped up the day by learning how to wrap presents… which quickly taught us that patience is not everyone’s strength 😂🎀
A huge thank you to Pizza Ranch in Stevens Point for their generosity and for providing a group discount—we truly appreciate your support! 🙌
So proud of the teamwork, independence, problem-solving, and generosity shown by our students. What an amazing way to learn through real-world experiences! 🌟
Due to the snow day last week, our Toy Drive collection will continue until the end of the day tomorrow, Tuesday, December 16th.
Thank you for all of the amazing donations that have already been received.

Artist of the Week - Josh Snow is a 9th grade student in Fired Up Art Class . Josh did a great job on his metal piece. Josh designed his wolf head, sawed it out with a jeweler's saw, filed it, sanded it and then buffed it to create his final piece. Josh worked very hard on this wolf and the end result shows!
