NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELOR APPRECIATION WEEK
Jennie Manning pours her heart into our school every single day, and School Counselor Appreciation Week is the perfect moment to shine a light on all she does. Her dedication to advocating for students is unmatched, and our school simply wouldn’t function without her steady guidance and care. We’re deeply grateful for the countless hours she invests in helping every student feel seen, supported, and capable.

BADGER SCHOLAR OF THE WEEK
Annalena Nelson, Sophomore
I'd like to nominate Annalena Nelson for Scholar of the Week. Annalena shows up with a good attitude every day. She is kind to her classmates and has really pushed herself as a leader in class lately. This semester, Annalena is off to a strong start in English class. She is attentive, studious, and communicative (with absences for school activities). Her writing has really impressed me. Keep it up, Annalena!
